In this diary, I'll talk about a highlight in InuYasha. InuYasha has described a relation between the sister and the brother, that is, Sango and Kohaku, as one of the big themes.

Episode 159: Kohaku's Resolution and Sango's Heart is a story about the two. Sango, one of the InuYasha group members, has her father and associates killed by Naraku, and does her brother, Kohaku, captured to work under Naraku. Though Naraku has controlled Kohaku who lost his memory, Kohaku is recovering it. Sango has believed that for the good of the public, she had better kill Kohaku who is working under Naraku
But it is hard for her to get into action since he is a brother by blood. On the other hand, Kohaku, recovering his memory, wants to beat Naraku. But monitored by Saimoshos, he can't carry it out either.

The two's brotherhood is the highlight in this Episode.Other animes describe brotherhoods, I think, but InuYasha does ones differently. Because InuYasha isn't the story in the human world, and the two are intertwined with the other characters, the brotherhood is completely different from the general brotherhoods. The episode surely expresses their brotherhood straightforward. Though Sango's fans and Kohaku's ones may suffer heartache, the story is very impressive. Additionally, The two popular voice actresses, Ms. Houko Kuwashima (Sango) and Ms. Akiko Yajima (Kohaku), give a wonderful performance. While they care abut each other, Naraku has caused the misunderstanding among them. Be sure to focus on the two.
