A tanuki is a canine native to Japan that has markings similar to those of the raccoon. Because of this it's frequently referred to as a raccoon dog in English. If you click on the link in the post you will find pictures and info on their role in myth.
A Miroku is a 19-year-old hunk of a wandering Buddhist monk who is an accomplished con artist, not always successful ladies man, and the smartest person on Inuyasha's team despite what his behavior would lead you to believe.
He is cursed with what amounts to a black hole in the palm of his hand that is kept sealed with holy beads. If Naraku, the main villain, doesn't die REAL soon now and break the curse it will overpower the seal and suck up Miroku.
Here is the intro to him Adult Swim ran: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnp2_JtMHu0&feature=related
