Kaou

花皇

Kaou ("Flower Emperor") is a powerful demon who feeds on the sorrow of others, feeding their used bodies to the ground afterwards. He appears as a noble with dark, messy hair and often carries a fan. Kaou's powers are strong enough to cast his spell over an entire village. He has been shown to literally act in a kind and caring manner, which helps him put others into the trance his flowers create. Inuyasha's group encountered him soon after Kikyou's death; he succeeded in placing Inuyasha in a trance, allowing him to weep all his sorrow over her death away; however, he was soon afterwards destroyed by Inuyasha in anger for using his feelings as food.
