One key difference between feudal Europe and feudal Japan lies in their social hierarchies and roles within the class structure. In Europe, the feudal system was characterized by a rigid class structure with kings, nobles, knights, and peasants, while in Japan, the system was more focused on the samurai warrior class, who held significant power and loyalty to their daimyo (feudal lords). Additionally, the cultural and religious influences, such as the prominence of Christianity in Europe versus Shinto and Buddhism in Japan, shaped their respective societies and governance.

Feudalism in Japan was a nightmare for the common person. Only the feudal lords benefited by having total political and economic power there. There is nothing to prove that a "god like" emperor would not have been produced because feudal chiefs would not give up some power.

There were many different beliefs in Feudal Japan. Most were Zen Buddhists, but other types of Buddhism existed, depending on which class of society one belonged to. Also all of Japan also have Shinto beliefs, especially the Imperial Household. There were also few Christians that existed in Feudal Japan, though it would be banned toward the end of Feudal Society.
She doesn't have one. Surnames (family names) weren't used in Feudal Japan by anyone except the nobility, and Kikyo and the vast majority of other characters throughout Inuyasha are not nobility (youkai nobility clearly has different rules).
