Remember that InuYasha's Birthday is not April 1st - That's an April Fool's Prank!

When is InuYasha’s birthday?

I’ve been seeing everyone sharing that InuYasha’s birthday is April 1st 1479.

Let me first explain how that is wrong.

In 1996, Kagome traveled 500 years in the past to 1496. 1496 InuYasha had already been pinned to the tree of ages for 50 years.. 1479 was during the time he was pinned to the tree. How was he born while under Kikyou’s spell?

Lets break it down to something easier to believe.

The series starts off in 1996 Tokyo Japan, Kagome goes down into the well making that 500 years off of 1996, which leaves us at 1496 in Feudal Japan - The Sengoku Jidai.

When you remove the 50 years from 1496, that means InuYasha was sealed in 1446. Debunking “April 1st 1479”.

Did I mention that’s something that someone posted on a publicly edited website for April Fools? DEBUNKED. Even more so as we continue on in this post. You’ll see why -

No where in the series, the anime, manga, novelization, video games, Drama CD Audios, Artbook, and not even the InuYasha Profiles Book state any type of information as to what InuYasha’s birth date is. Until we look at one of the movies, which has the closest evidence for this and will help us be as accurate as possible to what InuYasha’s real date of birth is.

Looking towards the third installment of the InuYasha movies - “Swords of an Honorable Ruler” We get to see the beginning of InuYasha’s life. During this day it was snowing with a full moon, where InuYasha’s half brother Sesshoumaru and their father the Inu no Taishou are talking right before he runs in order to save Izayoi from Takemaru of Setsuna. With that we know that it takes place in Winter, and on a Full Moon leading onto a Total Lunar Eclipse.

In which even Takemaru of Setsuna says, and I quote directly:

“The night of a lunar eclipse. Excellent. It is the perfect time to slay a demon.”

During the viewing of the film we are granted with a few exchanged lines between Saya, Toutousai and Myouga in regards to the passing of InuYasha’s father, stating it had happened 200 years ago.

The same night that InuYasha is born, his father dies.

Taking off of what we have currently: 1496, reduces it down to the year 1296.

UPDATE:

In InuYasha Wide Edition 4, InuYasha is said to have taken place during the 1540s but that wouldn’t make him born around the 1340s and here’s why - As of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - Episode 21 - “Secret of the Rainbow Pearls” Summary from Animedia March 2021 added weight to this. It states that Taishou died in the Kamakura Period, which takes place during the years of 1185-1333.

Making it also Historically Accurate.

Now we have the following evidence in place

- The starting year for the series is 1996

- Traveling around 500 years back in time to the Sengoku Period during the 1540s

- The 200 years ago when the Inu no Taishou’s passes during the Kamakura Period is 1296

Making us closer to the most accurate answer for InuYasha’s date of birth.

I’ve compiled down this information from various Almanacs, which is an annual calendar containing important dates and statistical information such as astronomical data and tide tables. Meaning there was so much in terms of lunar cycle to sift through before I could get even far enough as to establish a definitive date. The one benefit here that we have, is that Japan is a small island and lunar eclipses only happen so often.

Narrowing it down to a handful of dates that the moon was visible enough to even see, let alone during a celestial event such as a lunar eclipse.

We were left with the most realistic date given that it’s winter in the area of the years around 1296, and on the correct moon cycle in Japan -

Total Lunar Eclipse of March 29th 1298

Partial Lunar Eclipse - October 2nd 1297

Partial Lunar Eclipse of May 18th, 1296

Total Lunar Eclipse - May 30th 1295

Leaving us with a total eclipse of the Moon occurring on December 4th 1294 with maximum eclipse at 10:44 UT. A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 38 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth’s umbral shadow.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 59 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 45 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 38 minutes.

If we convert the 10:44 Universal Time to Japan time, that made it 7:44 PM. That would be the time that InuYasha was born. In the movie we hear his crying as soon as it becomes a Total Lunar Eclipse.

A Total Lunar Eclipse on a snowing night.

December 4th 1294

Japanese calendar: 11/09/1294

On this day, according to our timeline - Inu-Yasha and Kagome were married on March 31st 2000! Here's to a happy 24 years of marriage!

How long was Kagome in the Feudal Era?

How long was Kagome in the Feudal Era?

Here I will calculate how long Kagome was in the Feudal Era. Kagome's birthday I calculated ended up being April 30th 1981. April 30th, 1996 will be the base start for the series.

Kagome's birthday -

1996 is the correct translation from the Japanese version of the manga, so that is the year that I will use. For the Feudal Era I will use 1496, as it was stated in the manga that she travels 500 years back in time. In the manga opening it is stated InuYasha takes place between 1482-1558. Since there is so much inconsistencies from real life history when compared to InuYasha, I will only be using the fictional stated date because it is a world of Rumiko Takahashi's creation that is simply inspired by some of our real life history. That doesn't mean it will be exactly the same as text document non-fictional history. So here I will be using that. Overall it won't change the amount of time the journey was. They even used a different calender back then, in the Sengoku era that means Kagome started her journey 1496-03-08 (Butsumetsu, 8th Yayoi 1496) (1496年弥生8日仏滅)

But if we wanted to try to make it historically accurate, she would have had to start her journey around 1540s-1550s

Again, I will just be simply using 1496 for the sake of the fictional official mentions.

In volume 1 the night before Kagome shatters the jewel and goes back to her era Kagome says it's been two days

The next day when she returns, making it the third day Gramps confirms this in the anime of episode 3 and says “You were missing for three full days”

Kagome takes a bath, lays in bed. Says "But it was only a few hours ago I was there...

Making it the same third day.

When we reach Vol 2 after Yura's death. It is the next day.

We are on Day 4 now. After Sesshoumaru is defeated they get gifts from the villagers ending Volume 2.

On Volume 3 we find out they left right after getting gifts to find shikon shards. Three days since they left the village. Making this Day 7.

In Chapter "Tsukumo no Gama" night passes onto Day 8.

Next Chapter "Mask of Flesh". It's Day 9. Kagome spends another day in the Modern Era it's Day 10.

Day 11 is another school day for her onto Day 12 another school day until the Noh mask is defeated on day 13 through midnight to morning - she's very tired for staying up because of it during school.

Chapter "Foxfire" to the end of "With Only A Scabbard" passes around two days. It's Day 15. Then Chapter "A Little Imp" we have a time skip of a month due to changing in school uniform. That makes it June. And that from April 30th to June 1st - It has been 32 days in her journey and two months at school. It becomes a New Moon in June. According to pre-recorded moon phases - A New Moon in "June" is on the 11th 1496.

But here we can stop - InuYasha turns human 9 times in total. Episode 13, Episode 44, Episode 57-58, Episode 66-67, the Second InuYasha movie, Episode 162, Manga Chapter 362, Chapter 412 , and Episode 12 of the Final Act.

From June 11th InuYasha turns human 8 more times. Landing the last transformation we see on February 2nd. That means that from April 30th to February 2nd their journey has been 9 months 3 days. Episode 12 of the Final Act. Which is ironic because Episode 10-17 of the Final Acts ending is Diamond which is Winter themed and this is when Kagome is seen wearing her scarf -

That alone blew me away how it landed on the Winter themes of the series.

From here on out we can continue calculations backtracking onto my previous post regarding Kagome's birthday and Japanese school terms -

In Chapter 530 Kagome graduates from Junior High. Making it March 31st. A day later passes and the Battle against Naraku starts. Kagome is then stuck in darkness for 3 days. Meaning it's April 4th, 1997. She is still 15 here but about to turn 16. It also means that Kagome has been missing a few days of High School. This can also be confirmed while she was dreaming that she was in highschool, until it shows the reality of what is truly happening "Mrs. Higurashi, what's happened to Kagome?! Where is she?!" "She worked so hard to pass her exams, but she hasn't come to a single day of High School!"

We can say Kagome was in the feudal era for 11 months 5 days.

She's in the Modern Era for 3 years. Then she returns right after she finishes high school.

She is 18 now after the 12th grade, last year of High School. That means she returns back to the Feudal Era - March 31st - the day she graduates. The year 2000.

When she returns it has been 3 years 11 months 1 day from the beginning of April 30th 1996

So she returns March 31st, 2000 - Marrying InuYasha

and in the Feudal Era 1500-02-22 (Taian, 22nd Kisaragi 1500) (1500年如月22日大安)

In the chapter "Since Then" it is 6 months later - it has been 4 years 5 months

September 30, 1500

1500-08-27 (Butsumetsu, 27th Hazuki 1500) (1500年葉月27日仏滅)

Of course there is a day after Root Head's defeat in that chapter, Making it October 1st. When you think about it. Yashahime starts airing October 3rd, now - isn't that ironic?

I hope that didn't give you too much of a headache. If you liked this, please make sure to share this and subscribe!
