The name of a popular anime/manga character staring in a show of the same name. InuYasha, broken down, roughly translates to dog demon.

'inu', meaning dog, and 'Yasha' being a slang/broken term of 'youkai' which means demon or other worldly (non human) creature. Often 'Yasha' is refered to mean half demon.

InuYasha is a half demon. His demon blood comes from his fathers side and his human blood comes from his mothers.
InuYasha is an excellent anime show!

InuYasha is very cute.

Did you know that InuYasha is only a half demon?

An anime named after it's main character that takes place in the Feudal Era in Japan. The half dog demon, Inuyasha, sets on a mission to recover the shards of the powerful Shikon Jewel with his loyal comrades Kagome (a 15-yr-old priestess from the present), Shippo (a fox demon child), Miroku (a perverted monk), Sango (a demonslayer), and Kilala (Sango's trustworthy cat demon). Their mission is to find all the shards of the jewel before the demon Naraku (the main bad guy) or any other demon does, for the jewel has the power to fulfill any wish if completed.
This anime is full of action-packed fights, unexpected twists, interesting original characters, hilarious scenes, and a taste of the occasional romance.
Inuyasha is a "must see" for all anime lovers. I strongly recommend it to all who haven't seen it. And to all who have, if you enjoyed what you saw, I love you X3....if not, then I feel sorry for you and that brain-damaged head of yours. ^^

A manga drawn and written by the manga *princess*, Rumiko Takahashi about a normal Tokyo schoolgirl (Kagome Higurashi) who travels back in time and meets the demon, Inu-Yasha. This manga was turned into an anime sometime in the '90s. And let me just say, it is TOTALLY awesome. Inu-Yasha kicks ass.
