Naraku, the primary antagonist (a name literally translating to "underworld" or "hell"), is to blame for the suffering endured by nearly every character in the series. He is a han'you who originated from a bandit known as Onigumo ("Demon Spider"). Naraku's primary objective is to gather all the shards of the Shikon no Tama so that he can become a full Youkai. His platonic love for Kikyo is what compelled him to kill her and seal Inuyasha to the tree, serving as the fundamental reason for his transformation into a demon.
