Tōtōsai

Tōtōsai is one of the supporting characters of the anime/manga InuYasha series. He is the elderly blacksmith who created Tessaiga and Tenseiga.
He was voiced by the late Jōji Yanami for original series and currently Naoki Tatsuta for Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon in the Japanese version and Richard Newman in the English version.
==Background==
He was a old friend of Tōga (Great Dog Demon) who forged the Tessaiga and the Tenseiga. He rarely appears unless to repair the damaged swords or instruct InuYasha in hidden powers within the Tessaiga.
As Inuyasha grows stronger and Sesshōmaru grows more compassionate, they become more capable of mastering their respective swords, which Totosai strengthens accordingly. He spends most of his time at his forge inside a volcano. He also is transported by a three eyed ox which can fly.
Totosai and Jaken arrive at the scene, and Totosai states that he needs three whole days to mend Tenseiga. Totosai retrieves the hilt of Setsuna's broken naginata and begins to restore it to create the blood bade she inherited from being one of Sesshōmaru's half-demon daughters, the Yukari no Tachikiri. After Setsuna killed all demons, Sesshōmaru then hands the broken Tenseiga to Totosai for its three day mending, and leaves with Jaken. Before leaving himself, Totosai warns Setsuna to never let herself be murdered again as the Tenseiga can only return sentient beings, human or demon to life only once. Totosai instructs Setsuna on how look for a mystical Kyūyōkon root from the 214 year old Magnolia demon tree Bokusenō to receive a proper demonic weapon for Towa.
