Inukami is a Japanese anime television series that aired in 2006 on TV Aichi. The show focuses on the relationship between Inukami, supernatural dog spirits, and their respective owners, called Inukami-tamers, who have the ability to control and communicate with them.

The protagonist of the series is a young man named Keita Kawahira, a descendant of a long line of Inukami-tamers. He is a lazy and carefree person who inherited the family business of handling Inukami, but he lacks the necessary discipline and training. Keita is assigned to work with a mischievous Inukami named Youko who doesn't always listen to him.

The primary arch is the developing bond between Keita and Youko as they battle evil spirits and monsters together. The show frequently explores the concept of the relationship between Inukami and their respective tamers. Inukami have their distinct personalities, and they require a considerable effort to get along with their tamer. In addition to battling evil spirits, Keita has to navigate the difficulties of working with Youko, who is stubborn and always up to trouble.

The series also features a vast cast of characters, including other Inukami-tamers, evil spirits, and various supernatural creatures. Notably, Keita's cousin, Kaoru, is a highly skilled Inukami-tamer who uses his skills to help him and his cohorts confront malicious beings. Additionally, Jarujaru Senbei, a feared and eccentric spirit-hunter, has a longtime rivalry with Inukami-tamers.

The show blends fantasy and humor, often delving into absurd situations, such as Youko's tendency to dress provocatively or her frequent attempts to seduce Keita. The humor adds levity to an otherwise intense series and is balanced by the complex relationships that are portrayed.

The show's animation and character design are highly detailed, and the colors are bright and vivid. The action scenes are fluid, and the soundtrack is well done, complementing the show's tone and mood.

Overall, Inukami is an entertaining and engaging anime series that mixes humor, action, and complex relationships. The show explores themes of family, friendship, and trust while offering a unique twist on the supernatural genre. The characters are likable and relatable, even though they are all slightly over-the-top. The series successfully balances humor and drama, creating a unique viewing experience that will keep viewers engaged from start to finish.

Inukami is a series that ran for 1 seasons (26 episodes) between April 5, 2006 and on TV Aichi
