Yura, the Hair youkai is about a demon that looks for only materialistic desires, such as pretty hair or just objects of power, such as the Shikon no Tama. Possibly an analogy to why Kagome likes Inu Yasha in the first place.
Amari Nobunaga, the brother of famous Oda Nobunaga is used to represent how somebody like Inu Yasha won't express how he's attracted to humans somebody like how Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru argue between each other. However, he will protect them to the end, no matter how he may die from it. Sort of like a Cyrano de Bergerac thing by submitting to society. However, also notice how people could not figure out that the lord was possessed by a demon, like how Inu Yasha and Kagome and Kikyo do not recognize how Kikyou has changed and been possessed and possibly how Inu Yasha was as well. The Amari-Lord struggle can be seen as similar to the triangle between the Kikyo and Kagome, especially with the concepts of soul stealing.
