Background: We first meet Shippou after his father is slain by the Thunder Brothers. Out for revenge he steals Kagome’s jewel shards in order to become stronger. Pulling our Heroes into the battle with the Thunder Brothers makes Shippou realized that Inuyasha and Kagome aren’t that bad and he joins the group. After the defeat of Naraku he spends his time mostly and the Kitsune Academy where he is training to become a better skilled Kitsune.

Profile: Despite his size, Shippou is a very sharp kid. He is known for his witty comments when one of the couples in the group start fighting again (usually earning a bonk on the head from Inuyasha). He is not known, however, for his bravery. When an enemy comes knocking he runs away. Yet courage is in our young hero’s heart as he face down characters when one of his ‘family members’ gets hurt. Shippo has known revenge before, especially after his father is killed. And most of all, Shippo is known for his childish innocence
