| abstract | - A-Un (阿吽) is Sesshōmaru's beast of burden. He is one of the only two yōkai in the series who is explicitly stated to be an herbivore (the other being Mō-Mō). Despite traveling with Sesshōmaru for centuries, he has no name until Rin gives him one, calling the right head "A" and the left head "Un". It is undecided whether their name can be translated into anything applicable to their character, but the pronunciation a-un is used to describe a sound influential in many Indian religions "indicating an inherently harmonious relationship or non-verbal communication." (). Also, a-un is a term typically used to identify the 'one open mouth and one closed mouth' komainu statue sets normally seen near or in shrines. On their journeys, Rin and Jaken often rest on his back to fly over great distances. When Sesshōmaru leaves Rin in a safe place, A-Un stays with her as her protector. He saves Rin from a group of lesser demons while she is collecting herbs that will save Jaken from being poisoned by Naraku's Saimyōshō. A-Un also defeats many of Takemaru of Setsuna's zombie warriors in InuYasha the Movie: Swords of an Honorable Ruler.
