AWWWWW!!! HOW CAN U NOT LOVE HIM??
Shippou is, by far, the youngest member of the Jewel-finding crew. he is also the only one with no real reason to go after Naraku, except maybe that Naraku hurt all of his friends.
Shippou first appears to be an annoying little kid, but he is actually a lot smarter and wiser then he leads people to believe. He is a Kitsune(fox) and can use an attack called "Fox Fire". It's not that strong yet, but still effective.
Shippou has the power of illusion. He has one attack where he throws a little top, and it grows huge. But it's actually all on illusion. And, using a single leaf, he can change his shape. He can't transform fully, though. Not all the time. In one episode, to try to help Inu, Shippou transforms to Kagome. It would've been convincing.... If not for the tail.
Shippou's father was killed by Hiten and Manten, of the Thunder Brothers. He tried to steal the Shikon shards from Kagome and Inuyasha to avenge his father, but it didn't work very well. After being saved by Inuyasha, he tags along with the crew. he loves Kagome the most, and sees her as almost a mother figure. His worst fear: being abandoned by his friends.
