Inu no Taisho is a fictional character from the InuYasha series. He is the father of Sesshoumaru and InuYasha. Inu no Taisho is actually a rank that stands for General of the Dogs. Most people refer him as The Great Dog Demon. He is assumed to be more than 3,000 years old, but this is not confirmed. Toga can transform to a gaint dog just like Sesshoumaru the only differences are that he doesn't have a crecsent shape moon on his forhead and he is atleast 36 times taller and 40 times longer.
Inu no Taisho was a taiyoukai (great demon) lord. He had two sons, by different mothers. The mother of his son Sesshoumaru is a mystery, as there has been nothing revealed about her in the anime. Sesshoumaru's mom has made an appearence in the manga, however, and we learn that she is alive, is also a taiyoukia, lives in a great palace, and possesses a magical item.
He fell in love with a human hime (Princess) called Izayoi, with whom he would have his next son, InuYasha. Inu no Taisho was undoubtedly incredibly powerful, the old flea Myoga once described the Taiyoukai lord as "The demon of demons" which implies that he was a very powerful being. Inu no Taisho ruled in the Western part of Japan and fought with many demons before the birth of InuYasha such as, Hyoga and Menoumaru, Oyakata (former leader of the Panther tribe), the deadly Ryukotsusei, and finally Setsuna no Takemaru, with whom he died in battle with.
There has been a great deal of conflict over his true name. Many fans refer to him as InuTaisho, an incorrect way of saying Inu no Taisho. This is not his true name, as it is only a rank, as mentioned above. In the Japanese, his name is apparently given as Toga in the third movie. However, this is not confirmed. And even then, it is only his Japanese name and he still does not have a name in the English translation.
He is the demon lord who commissioned the sword smith Totosai to forge Tessaiga (also spelled Tetsusaiga) and Tensaiga from two of his fangs. A third sword, Sounga, was also made, though not from his fang, and not by Totosai. Apparently the swords are of the three realms, with Tessaiga being of Earth, Tensaiga being of Heaven, and Sounga being of hell. The Sounga has a mind of its own and can think and move on its own, but for it to reach its full potential it needs a host, and it has an influence on their actions. If the host is powerful enough, however, like InuYasha's father, then Sounga can be controlled.
Note: Some fans have taken to calling InuTaisho "Inu-Papa".
InuTaisho is the father of InuYasha and Sesshoumaru. InuTaisho and Totosai created the Tetsusaiga and Tensaiga. InuTaisho loves Izayoi, but sadly InuTaisho never sees his second son InuYasha. InuTaisho dies the same day InuYasha is born. InuTaisho had another sword, The Third Fang Sounga.
InuTaisho appears in the 3rd InuYasha movie. InuTaisho finds that Takemaru has killed Izayoi. He revives her with the Tensaiga, and sees Inuyasha within her arms. InuTaisho received damage inflicted during his fight with Setsuna no Takemaru, and dies shortly thereafter. Though as he makes clear to Myoga, he was already dying from his wounds fighting Ryuukotsusei.

According to the anime, Taisho could have killed Ryukotsusei, however he did not have time because Izayoi had been kidnapped mid battle. After being informed of this by Myoga, Taisho bound Ryukotsusei with his claw so he (or his sons) could kill him later. Taisho however died that night after saving Izayoi thus leaving Ryukotsusei bound to the wall.
As for the reason Inuyasha was able to destroy Ryukotsusei with the Backlash wave, again the anime answers this by explaining that Ryukotsusei was also gravely wounded in his battle with Taisho and thus was much weaker then when he fought with Taisho, weakened enough to be killed by Inuyasha. ... show more »

I always wondered, if the backlash wave was tetsusaiga's ultimate technique, and inuyasha's father had the tetsusaiga previously; How did he get so mortally wounded against Ryukotsei?
Inuyasha destroyed Ryukotsei with the backlash wave so easily, so couldn't his father have done the same thing, instead of putting a giant claw to subdue him?
If his father was this incredibly powerful full-fledged demon, with a powerful technique like the backlash wave; he should have never lost or died against Ryukotsei right? ... show more »

I disagree with Inuyasha's dad looking about 40, he looks early 30's or so. Maybe that's just me o.O

I love Sesshoumaru's mom, you might say what you want about her but if she didn't care about her son she wouldn't have revived Rin just to make him happy. And she seems fun being all really ironic and fake acting, I think she would be a great actress. (Nothing against her but Inuyasha's mother seems boring to me). And who the hell said that InuTaisho was two timing, Sesshoumaru was around 500 years old when his father got involved with a human (and even though I think Sesshoumaru was upset with his father it doesn't mean that he hated him, in my opinion he respected his father) you people can't really believe that he lived that long with the same person? He probably got together with her so that he could have an heir (being a Lord and all) and after they raised him they parted their ways as friends even because Sessoumaru's mother was obviously in talking terms with his father before he died (he gave her the meido stone probably around the time he got involved with a human). I fell much better already you people say such stupid things... ... show more »
