How Old Is Kagome In The Final Act: Unveiling Her Age

How old was Kagome in “Yashahime”? To determine Kagome’s age in the sequel series “Yashahime,” we can start by establishing her birth year, which is 1982. In the original series, “Inuyasha,” she is depicted as being 14-15 years old. Considering the time frame of the original series and the fact that it takes place around the years 1996-1997 (corresponding to the release year of the “Inuyasha” manga), Kagome would have aged to approximately 18 years old during the three-year time skip, placing her at around the year 2000 in “Yashahime.”

The series introduces us to Kagome Higurashi, a fifteen-year-old middle school girl living in modern-day Tokyo. Her unexpected adventure commences when she is unexpectedly transported to the Sengoku period after a peculiar incident where she falls into a well situated in her family shrine. It is in this historical setting that she encounters Inuyasha, a half-dog demon and half-human character, marking the beginning of their extraordinary journey together. Kagome’s age of fifteen is pivotal to her character development and the challenges she faces throughout the series as she navigates the complexities of two very different worlds.

In the final act of the story, there’s an epilogue set six months after Kagome’s return. During this epilogue, we find out that Rin’s age is approximately 11 years old. However, since we lack specific information about her exact birthdate, there is a slight uncertainty regarding whether she may have already turned 12 by this point. This scene and the age of Rin are significant because they shed light on her growth and development as a character. This information was confirmed as of January 16, 2021.
