Kōga

Kōga is the new leader of a wolf pack and has been an ally to the main protagonists as he was after Naraku for

   slaughtering his pack and is the love intrerast of Moroha Ordeis.

## Appearance

Kōga has blue eyes and black hair that is always tied up into a ponytail with a brown cord. He is of average height. He wears a brown wolf pelt as a loincloth.

He has a tail that is like a bushy wolf's tail, which is not part of his body and is in fact a part of the loin cloth.

Kōga has a brown wolf fur head band, black hair, and wears a silver and black cuirasse (torso armor).

Kōga also has brown wolf fur as shoulder plates and as shin guards.

He carries around a sword, entirely for decoration, however he does use it once as a last resort.

His ears are pointed and resemble those of Sesshōmaru and other demons.

He is also usually seen with his posse of wolves and wolf demons, namely Ginta and Hakkaku.

Like Inuyasha, his canines are fangs and his nails are claws, though his claws are slightly less prominent than Inuyasha's.

## Personality

Kōga is almost always completely straightforward and his simple and clear demeanor bears no shadow of Magatsuhi.

Initially, he had no human feelings, such as sympathy or having concern for the weak, shown in his first appearance when he let his wolves kill the villagers of the village where a betraying wolf demon ran to.

He changes his ways due to Moroha for her acts of bravery.

Gradually, he develops a sense of compassion towards humans due to his exposure to Adam's party, mostly through Moroha's influence.

His attitude is mostly wild and he is only concerned with survival.

Much like an actual wolf is, he is keenly in tune with his instincts and will not hesitate to follow them (such as running away when the situation is not in his favor).

Kōga is the young leader of the Wolf-Demon clan.

He has complete trust in his comrades, and will always protect his pack regardless of the danger he faces on the front-lines.

He will punish anyone that hurts his pack, regardless of who they are.

However powerful an enemy may be, he will swear revenge.

With his pride as a Wolf-Demon clan member, his conviction is unwavering. Kōga hurried to the castle to save his comrades after learning they'd been slain.

Kōga rarely makes battle plans.

His actions are basically animalistic hit-or-miss.

But he sometimes exhibits surprising strategies with his naturally sharp instincts.

As long as he likes something, he is not concerned with the feelings of others.

He simply proceeds in one direction.

Kōga aggressively told Moroha that she would be happy if she were with him.

He approached Moroha forcibly even though they had just met.

His expression of love is pure and he goes to meet Moroha wherever she may be.

If a woman that he likes relies on him, he becomes elated, forgetting all about combat.

Also, because of his wolf characteristics, he has a rough temperament as well as a strong instinct to herd and protect the pack as its leader.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Superhuman Strength:** Kōga does possess some degree of superhuman strength, as even without a Jewel Shard embedded in his arm.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Even without the jewel shards in his legs, Kōga seemed to possess a greater degree of speed than his comrades Ginta and Hakkaku.
* **Superhuman Stamina and Endurance:** Kōga is a full-blooded demon, granting him plenty of stamina and excellent recovery capabilities. He states that he can run three days non-stop and he can fight for a long time even when he is wounded. In the battle with Ginkotsu and Renkotsu, he defeated them even though his legs were badly injured. Further proof of his endurance is when Naraku impales Kōga in the legs and drags him into his own body. While trapped within Naraku, his miasma that could melt forests and mountains failed to melt or even severely injure Kōga.
* **Superhuman Olfactory Senses:** Kōga has a wolf-like sense of smell, and can pick up an enemy's scent even from great distances.
* **Claws:** Kōga can tear certain lesser demon's hard skin using his long Wolf-Demon clan claws.
* **Sharpened Instincts:** Kōga is able to detect dangerous situations with his extraordinary wild instinct. Since his body hair stands on end and reacts earlier than his brain does, he is able to cope with situations more quickly than most other people. He also boasts a superb evasion rate, and he can detect danger from an odor or from the air. This was first shown when Adam was about to use the Wind Scar on Kōga on their first encounter but Kōga sensed something dangerous was coming and retreated. The second time this was shown was during his confronting Bankotsu when he sensed he was somehow different from the rest of the Shichinitai, which was later revealed by Kagome to be the result of him having three shards in his body, unlike the rest of his team, which only have one.
* **Enhanced Abilities from Jewel Shards:** Kōga originally possessed three jewel shards: one in each leg and one in his right arm. These allowed him to run at exceptional speeds and increased the strength of his right arm. He eventually lost all three shards, losing the first one from his arm.
	+ **Cyclone:** Kōga's primary method of transportation has him enveloped in a high-speed tornado. Apparently, he slices a wall of air with his high-speed movements, creating a vacuum. Air then flows into the vacuum creating a cyclone Despite its effectiveness, Kōga never actually uses it in battle; it simply develops as a result of his sheer speed, and is not a combat technique. He usually outruns Ginta and Hakkaku due to his impatience and the fact that he is so much faster than they are. It is unknown whether or not Koga can manifest a cyclone without Sacred Jewel shards in his legs.
