This elegant PVC figurine depicts the powerful and charismatic Sesshomaru, the demon lord and Inuyasha’s half-brother, from the legendary manga and anime series of the same name. Part of the innovative and practical ‘Noodle Stopper’ range, this collector’s item combines the presence of a cult character with a fun, everyday function, making it ideal for fans of Japanese pop culture.
The model faithfully captures, with great attention to detail, the most iconic physical and sartorial features of this noble demon. It features his long silver hair, the purple crescent moon on his forehead, his facial markings, as well as the sumptuous fur fabric (Mokomoko) draped over his traditional kimono. His seated posture, exuding coolness and dignity, is specially designed for use as a ‘Noodle Stopper’: it keeps the lid of your instant noodle pots firmly closed whilst they’re cooking, whilst withstanding the heat.
Designed by the renowned manufacturer Furyu with meticulous attention to detail, this figurine is presented in its original, sealed cardboard box. Measuring 9.5 cm, it also makes a magnificent display piece that will sit elegantly on the edge of a shelf, a desk or atop your manga collection.

Character background and lore
Created by the famous mangaka Rumiko Takahashi, Sesshomaru is a powerful Daiyokai (a pure and superior demon), son of the prestigious General Chien. Unlike his half-brother Inuyasha, who is a hybrid, Sesshomaru initially harbours a deep contempt for humans and for weakness. Armed with his destructive sword Tenseiga (capable of bringing the dead back to life) and later with Bakusaiga, he travels across Sengoku-era Japan in search of absolute power and the sword inherited from their father, the Tessaiga.
Although he initially comes across as a cold and ruthless antagonist, his character undergoes one of the most remarkable transformations in the series. His encounter with the young orphaned human girl Rin gradually awakens his compassion, revealing an unsuspected nobility of spirit and protective instinct. This figurine captures all the stoic majesty and mystical aura of this timeless demon lord from the shonen universe.
