Kagome is a protagonist of this manga and anime series. Her grandfather is the keeper of Higurashi Shrine, a shintō shrine near Tokyo. On her fifteenth birthday, she is pulled into the Bone Eater's Well by a centipede demon, called Mistress Centipede. This takes her back in time to the Sengoku period of feudal Japan. It is here that she finds the half-demon, InuYasha, in a coma and sealed to the Tree of Ages by a sacred arrow shot from the priestess Kikyo for 50 years. Kagome removes the arrow from his chest, freeing InuYasha and

- Purification Powers (Hama no reiryoku)
- This ability means anything Kagome touches gets purified. By gathering an enormous amount of concentrated power into her
right palm, she can direct it at her opponents.[3] She also uses this to purify the Jewel.
- Spiritual Powers
- Kagome can pass through barriers, spells, and/or illusions. Kagome is also able to sense evil auras and is unaffected
by them. If possible, she is able to surround herself with her own spiritual powers to ward off any evil. It is later revealed
that her powers to a great extent are sealed by the Shikon no Tama, so she may have other powers than these. [4] According to Rumiko Takahashi, Kagome is potentially much stronger than Kikyo herself.[citation needed] In the most recent chapters when Magatsuhi was killed by Sesshoumaru, Kagome's spiritual powers were released.
- Jewel Detecting
- This allows her to sense the exact location of the Jewel shards. While other characters have shown a vague ability to
see Shikon shards, only Kagome and Kikyo are able to sense the shards remotely.
- Time Travel
- Kagome can travel back and forth 500 years between the present and the Feudal era using the magical well behind her family's
shrine.[5]
