A New Feudal Fairy Tale Begins. “Inuyasha” production team Sunrise reunite to create the animation series “Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.” Will Eisner Hall-of-Famer Rumiko Takahashi also joins the team as main character design.
Today, Viz Media confirms Rights to the digital streaming, Est, and home video of “Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon” for North and Latin American territories.
In “Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon,” the daughters of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha set out on a journey transcending time. Set in feudal Japan, half-demon twins Towa and Setsuna are separated from each other during a forest fire. While desperately searching for her younger sister, Towa wanders into a mysterious tunnel that sends her into present-day Japan, where she is found and raised by Kagome Higurashi’s brother, Sota, and his family.
Ten years later, the tunnel that connects the two eras has reopened, allowing Towa to be reunited with Setsuna, who is now a demon slayer working for Kohaku.

Japanese production company Sunrise is to revive the iconic “Inuyasha” anime franchise and deliver a series “Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.” Viz Media has come on board to handle digital streaming rights, electronic sell-through, and home video in North America and Latin American territories.
Most of the Japanese film industry is currently shut down as a result of the nationwide anti-coronavirus lockdown and social distancing rules. And no details of the production schedule or delivery date were available.
The “Inuyasha” franchise first started as a critically acclaimed manga series, for which the English version was featured regularly on The New York Times Bestsellers list throughout the 2000s. The anime adaptation aired on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim block for over 11 years nearing 200 episodes. It has also spawned four successful feature film adaptations, but the franchise ended in 2010.
The original creator Rumiko Takahashi returns to handle character design. The series is to be directed by Teruo Sato.
