Miroku is a central character in the anime series InuYasha. He is a Buddhist monk known for his wisdom, spiritual powers, and a somewhat roguish personality. Despite his monk status, Miroku is notorious for his flirtatious nature, often asking women to bear his child. This is linked to his tragic fate, as he carries a cursed wind tunnel in his right hand, passed down through his family by the demon Naraku. Miroku joins InuYasha and friends on their quest to defeat Naraku, providing spiritual guidance and support while seeking to end the curse on his family.
