 | Izumo is actually the name of Guyou's father, so Izumo is actually Gyuou. He is a half demon, so every night he turns into his demon form. He appears to be in trouble at the beginning of the episode. He joins up with InuYasha and the gang for a while, saving a boy and explaining how sacred jewels can be made from four traits. |
| Izumo later turns out to be the villian. He want to use the sacred jewel to become a full human, abandoning the demon body. He plans to use Kagome's spirtual powers to make the base of his jewel, Miroku for the spirit of knowledge, Sango for the spirit of love, InuYasha for the spirit of courage and Shippou for the spirit of friendship. When combined the souls of all five of them |  |
 | would be the means for Izumo to accomplish his goal. InuYasha eventually defeats Izumo, accusing him of being weak becuase he can't handle the wilting of flowers, or the shunning that comes with being a half-demon. Izumo desperately tries to stave off his demise by comsuming all the fake jewels he has, and he ends up dying from the poison when he turns back into a human. |
