Kuranosuke Takeda (武田たけだ蔵乃介くらすけ, "Takeda Kuranosuke") is a lord who once hired the Inuyasha gang for a demon extermination. Ever since he laid eyes on Sango six years back when his father had called on the services of Sango's family, he had fallen in love with her and determined to marry her one day. He has been waiting for her to come back so he can convince her to do so.[1]

At the second meet, Kuranosuke immediately proposes to Sango, which makes Miroku silently jealous. He spends time trying to woo her into returning his feelings, repeatedly confessing his love and wishes for a happy life together. Despite his heartfelt attempts, Sango does not return his feelings. Miroku confronts Sango one night and simply bids his wishes for her happiness. Kuranosuke eventually figures out that Sango is actually in love with Miroku, and wishes the best for her as well (after she refuses his proposal).[1]

He tells Sango that if things ever go wrong with Miroku, he'll still be waiting and willing to do anything he can to help her.[1]
