History | Jakotsu is third in command of the Shichinin-tai, a group of seven warriors-for-hire who were once the scourge of the Northeastern provinces. Because of their grotesque methods of murder (hacking people into pieces and burning them to ashes), the Daimyou of the area sent out warriors to kill them. The warriors chased the Shichinin-tai through the mountains to a deserted village in the north. Then the seven Shichinin-tai warriors were decapitated and buried in the Shichinin Graves. Ten years after the reappearance of the Shikon no Tama, Naraku placed seven of the shards he possessed in the dead mercenaries' throats, bringing them to life as zombies. Jakotsu hates women, and he kills them first. Before he kills the men, he plays around with them (if they're cute). He also has no problem killing children for the Shichinin-tai's own personal gain. Jakotsu's most obvious trait is that he is a transvestite or just an effeminate cross-dresser, as he wears lipstick, hairpins, and pink/purple clothes. Another obvious trait is that he is a homosexual with an attraction to InuYasha and Miroku. Somewhat unrelated to the topic, some believe Jakotsu and Bankotsu have a relationship running deeper than teamwork or friendship. It is unknown whether this is true or not, but I seriously doubt it. I think they are more like brothers than anything else. I'm told Jakotsu's name means "Snake Bone" in Japanese. |
