Inuyasha Characters: Souta

Name: Souta Higurashi (日暮草太) Translated: Thick Grass AKA: Sota Age: Eight-ish Race: Human Weapons: None, Strike now while he's weak! First Appearance: Manga: Volume 1 Anime: Episode 1 Seiyuu: English: Saffron Henderson Japanese: Nakagawa Akiko

Souta is Kagome's little brother. He's occasionally jealous of her time-travelling acventures and would like nothing better than to accompany her on them. Despite his desires, Kagome thinks it's too dangerous for him and refuses to let him come. He doesn't seem to resent her for it and worries about her, especially when she's away for extended periods of time Souta still helps though in the limited ways he can. Souta biggest contribution is talking to Kagome's teachers, passing on school notes and reminding her of tests so she won't fall too far behind. He also spends a considerable amount of time enduring grandpa's stories, though he seems to put little belief in them. Souta admires Inuyasha like a combination of hero and big brother, and never misses a chance to spend time with him when he's in the modern age. Although Inuyasha's advice seems a bit spotty in some cases (like when Souta wants to confess his love to a classmate), it doesn't seem to affect his admiration at all. Souta also does what he can to get Kagome and Inuyasha to make up when they're fighting for extended periods of time.
