Background Kikyo is really two different characters. The first Kikyo was a strong and noble priestess who fell in love with Inuyasha. She was given the Shikon Jewel by a village of youkai (demon) exterminators so that she could purify its evil and protect it. She was a master archer and healer. That Kikyo is fatally wounded in the first episode. Before she died, she told her sister Kaede to bury the Jewel with her, so that it could do no more damage. The Jewel was not seen again for fifty years, until it was removed from Kagome's body. This is the main reason that most people believe that Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation.

50 years later, Kikyou was resurrected by Urasue. This old lady took Kikyou's spirit and soul from Kagome, and put it back into her "Kikyou", who is doll-like without her spirit. Whenever Kikyou's soul is taken from Kagome, Kagome is unconscious. However, once Kagome manages to get her soul back from Kikyou, Kikyou only has one option to keep living. She has to steal the souls from the living in order to keep herself going. In order to do this she uses her Shinidamachuu. (Serpent like creatures that carry the souls from the living to Kikyou. It translates as Death-soul Insects)

First Appearance Episode 01 - Kikyo is first referenced to in the first episode, when Inuyasha remembers how he got pinned to the tree.
