Jakotsu

The openly homosexual and sadistic wielder of a sneaky, retractable sword named "Jakotsutou", Jakotsu is one of the more skilled fighters of the Shichi'nintai and was placed third in command. He seems to be the first of the Shichinintai to have come into contact with Bankotsu and was with him before the Shichinintai were assembled as a group. Bankotsu and Jakotsu are very close and according to Bankotsu, Jakotsu is the only person he trusts.

Upon hearing of InuYasha of news by Kohaku, Jakotsu immediately develops a bloodthirstly and slightly sexual fascination with him. He spends the majority of the arc trying to find, battle, and kill him. After meeting InuYasha, Jakotsu is frequently swooning and petulantly protesting when he is denied confrontation. He also flies into a rage when Sango interferes in his first conflict with InuYasha, and at one moment Jakotsu openly says he finds Miroku good-looking too.
