InuYasha

Eri (, "Blessed with Reason") was one of Kagome's three best friends in modern-day Japan.

History[]

Eri attended the same school with Kagome Higurashi. After Kagome started traveling to the feudal age, and thus missing more school, her grandfather would lie to her friends that she was sick in order to cover for her. Whenever Kagome did return home, she would frequently hang out with Eri and her other friends at Wacdnalds and talk about personal matters (mostly about Kagome's love life). Kagome would usual complain to them about Inuyasha due to his angry disposition, as well as him frequently two-timing her with his ex-girlfriend. The continuing drama got Eri and the others immensely interested in Kagome's relationships, as a result.

During a visit to Kagome's house after school, Eri and her friends wanted to meet Inuyasha after finding out that he was there. Initially, they could not find them, but were suddenly surprised when Inuyasha suddenly approached them in Kagome's room through her window when Kagome left them for a moment.[1] After covering with Inuyasha for a while, Eri and the others had a good impression of Inuyasha in spite of all of Kagome's past complaining of him.

Three years later after Kagome successfully destroyed the Shikon no Tama (and was thus cut off from traveling to the past due to having fulfilled her purpose), she continued going to high school with Eri and her friends until they graduated.

Personality[]

She is all about Kagome's relationship health. She never fails to bring up Kagome's potential boyfriends (Inuyasha and Hōjō) and isn't afraid to give her full opinion of them.

At first, she along with Yuka and sometimes Ayumi didn't support Kagome's relationship with Inuyasha and kept telling her it would be best if she'd break up with him, thinking he was nothing more than a delinquent. However, after finally meeting Inuyasha she along with Yuka and Ayumi immediately changed their opinion of him and now fully support Kagome's relationship with Inuyasha.

Physical description[]

Eri looks similar to Kagome, but her shoulder-length black hair and yellow headband are different.

Relationships[]

Inuyasha

Eri first sees him at the cultural festival, but was unaware of who he is.[2] She and her friends would meet him again in Kagome's room and find him cool, believing him to be half-foreign.[1] While they waited as Kagome takes another make up exam, they meet him again as he comes to pick up Kagome and see him carrying her on his back after making her fail her exam.[3] On their way to the high school, as Kagome's backpack got stuck in the train because of the crowd, she sees Inuyasha again with his dog ears exposed and felt surprised that he can fly while carrying Kagome to get her backpack back with her entrance exam ticket in.[4] They were surprised to hear his voice after the Bone-Eater's Well disappeared near the end.[5]

Yuka, Ayumi, and Kagome

Yuka, Ayumi and Kagome are her three best friends.

  • Despite her name not being mentioned in the manga, Eri's and Yuka's name are somehow shown in the InuYasha profile book.[6]
  • Eri's Japanese seiyū, Yuki Masuda, also voiced Kochō (while Yuka's Japanese seiyū, Kaori Shimizu, voiced Asuka).
