Kokichi (小吉, こきち, "Little Fortune") was a young boy who was taken by the Shibugarasu to be eaten. When the demon crow's body was destroyed by Inuyasha, Kokichi fell into a raging river and was taken away by the rapids; he was as good as dead since he could not swim. He was thankfully saved by the priestess Kagome Higurashi.
Manga vs. Anime[]
- In the manga, Kagome rescues Kokichi from Shibugarasu by grabbing him before he hits the ground as he falls. In the anime, Kokichi falls into a river, and Kagome swims in to rescue him.
