History[]
The Gorashi.
Kōga went to the graveyard in order to obtain the Goraishi to aid his quest in slaying Naraku. It was protected by the wolf demon graveyard protector. Kōga had to battle it in order to obtain the Goraishi.
Wolf demon ancestors.
When Ginta and Hakkaku were in danger of being killed by the protector, Kōga choose to protect them instead of obtaining the Goraishi. It was this selfless act that earned Kōga the Goraishi from the ancestors of the wolf demon tribe. Their spirits spoke to Kōga and told him that they would protect him, but their power could only be used once to remove the influence that the miko Midoriko had over the Shikon Jewel shards in his legs.
