Information: Shippo is a little fox demon that used to live in the hills, but came across Inu-Yasha and company in their quest for the Shikon Jewel. If in need of a quick getaway, he can make dolls and spread them out to fool the enemy.

He has lots of other little tricks and suprises.

Even though Shippo looks like he's about 5 years old, he's actually closer to 50 years old. Demon's age a lot slower than humans. In episode 75, when InuYasha and the group are listening to the story of when the cat demons attacked (which happened about 50 years prior), Shippo says he doesn't remember it, and InuYasha says of course he wouldn't because he would have been a little baby at the time.

Name Meaning: Shippou's name literally means "the seven treasures", which are listed as gold, silver, lapis lazuli, pearls, crystals, agate, and coral. This may also be a play on the word 'shippo' which means tail.


Kit's Comment: Oh come on! Tell me you did NOT think he was cute in the picture huh?
