Miroku is introduced as a lecherous young monk, in search of the shards of the Shikon Jewel. He encounters Kagome and discreetly steals her shards of the Shikon Jewel. Inuyasha soon trails him to an okiya in hopes to retrieve them. Miroku unleashes the void of the Wind Tunnel cursed in his right hand, however Kagome prevents him in doing so. Miroku then reveals the source of his curse, which was inflicted upon by the youkai Naraku, who has been after the Shikon Jewel for fifty years. (Source: Wikipedia)
