List of Onimusha characters

The Onimusha series of action-adventure games developed by Capcom features a selection of fictional characters who are based on historical figures.

The original trilogy focuses on the ambitious warlord Nobunaga Oda who aspires to unify Japan using his demonic army known as Genma. In order to stop him several warriors obtain the power of the oni which allows them to defeat the Genma and absorb their souls. Three Oni warriors are the protagonists from the first Onimusha games and are often allied with other characters who are sometimes playable. Besides the Onimusha trilogy, Capcom released two spinoffs and a sequel titled Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams that features a new hero named Sōki who wishes to destroy the Genma.
