Hiten -- that's him on the right -- doesn't have much respect for women. In fact he fries a demon girl that he picked up somewhere just to warn Kagome to behave.

Inuyasha has terrific villains, especially Naraku, who's one of the best bad guys I've seen in any series, movie, or book, Japanese or not. Hiten's not in Naraku's class, but he is pretty snarky. I really like his character design, especially his costume, which is incredibly complex and detailed for an anime character. Look at all the line drawing and colors needed to create him!

It's no surprise that Hiten gets killed off (not much of a spoiler, since it happens early in the series): the animators probably threatened to go on strike, demanding, "give us a character who always wears a simple costume in solid red."
