鬼 (Oni) are brutish mountain Youkai superficially similar to Trolls and Ogres, with either one or two horns (which in some depictions are the source of their power). The word is almost always translated into English as "demon" or (especially in older translations) "ogre". However, while large, strong, and often brutish, Oni can also wield powerful magic and are usually depicted as more intelligent than Western ogres. Further, certain types are very calm and introspective, and female oni, being very beautiful, can get along well with (and sometimes marry) humans. While oni as a title has connotations similar to "demon" or "maniac", works depicting literal oni may show them as either good or bad, often being morally neutral and interested in their own affairs. They prefer huge bludgeoning weapons (iron clubs called kanab� being the most common) and hide loincloths (usually tiger-striped). They are also shown to really love their alcohol, which can make them even more rowdy. Sometimes blamed for streaks of misfortune or violent weather. Others work jobs in Fire and Brimstone Hell as big red devils. If Oni come in pairs, there's a good chance one will be red and the other blue. However, they won't always match the Red Oni, Blue Oni dynamics. If some Oni are explicitly female, Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism may occur with males looking Gonky and the females looking more conventionally attractive. Which is consistent with their mythological descriptions. "Oni" originally referred to misfortune, bad vibes and evil spirits, which were traditionally said to come from the northeast. Under the Eastern Zodiac this is known as the "ox-tiger" direction, so these forces came to be anthropomorphised as beings with features of oxen and tigers note Namely, horns as of the ox and tiger skins (in addition to tiger-like claws) . Figures clad in tiger pelts are also associated with Super-Strength across Asia, where tigers are the traditional equivalent of the King of Beasts.note Possibly originating as an ancient Cultural Translation of lion-clad and club-wielding images of Hercules Because they're Made of Evil (or at least Made of Chaos), even non-dangerous supernatural powers used by oni tend to automatically qualify as Black Magic or Curses. Sometimes particularly wild and brutish humans are depicted as transforming into oni as they are warped by the foul energies surrounding them. At some points in Japanese history the word "oni" became practically synonymous with "barbarian", and conquering or pacifying territories was described as "ridding lands of oni". Particularly powerful oni may be described as 鬼神 (kishin, literally "oni god"), a term used in Japanese Buddhism to refer to Wrathful Deities, while in some instances the term 悪鬼 (akki, literally "evil oni") specifically design evil-minded, man-eating oni. Incidentally, the Japanese word for vampire (�血鬼 kyuuketsuki) can be translated as "blood-sucking oni"; see here for details. Hyakki Yakou, the Japanese equivalent of The Wild Hunt, literally translates as "Night Parade of 100 Oni", though this usage is metaphorical (most depictions of the Parade include a wide variety of Youkai) and is usually glossed as "demons" even when oni is otherwise left untranslated. That said, it has lead to a number of works that use some variant of "Hyakki" (or worse, "Senki"note "1,000 oni") as a name or title for a particularly powerful oni; in more literal cases they may even be 100 demons fused together into an Eldritch Abomination. Compare Horned Humanoid and Wild Man. For the Oni's Western counterparts, see Our Ogres Are Hungrier and All Trolls Are Different (and occasionally Our Demons Are Different). See also Monster Lord for when oni are treated as an "evolved" form of ogres. See also Smash Mook (a common archetype for oni in video games). |

Gender Flip | |
Oni / int_34889673 | comment |
Gender Flip versions of Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji appear as playable Servants. They are both man eaters with a love of alcohol. Shuten-doujin also has romantic ties with Sakata Kintoki, one of the Four Heavenly Warriors to have participated in the extermination of the Oni of Mt. Ooe. However, he greatly regretted it, and his wish for the Holy Grail was for her revival. | |

Evil Sorcerer | |
Oni / int_434a6d40 | comment |
Fujiwara no Chikata, a figure of poetry and folklore, was said to be an Evil Sorcerer who tried to kill the Emperor and used Black Magic to obtain the service of four powerful Oni, the invulnerable Kinki (Metal Oni), the invisible Ongyoki (Hidden Shape Oni), the flood invoking Suiki (Water Oni) and the hurricane-summoning Fuuki (Wind Oni). Some versions change some of the demons (usually Ongyoki and Suiki) with Doki (Earth Oni) and Kaki (Fire Oni). The Four Oni were powerful enough to stall armies, but were eventually subdued and banished. | |

Machete Mayhem | |
Oni / int_48cbd223 | comment |
A sub-variant of oni includes the namahage, wild men who wear oni masks and wield overly-large kitchen knives and hunt down bad kids, threatening to take them away and eat them if they don't change their ways and are seen as Japan's answer to the Krampus or Bogeyman. In some stories, they sometimes go after newly wed couples and warn them they'll do the same thing if either of them become unfaithful to each other. During some Japanese festivals, such as New Year, it's also common for actors to dress up as namahage and go around neighbourhoods searching for children and young couples to admonish. |

Oni / int_8411ab92 | comment |
Zenki and Goki (lit. Preceding Oni and Following Oni) are the archetypal Red Oni, Blue Oni which can apparently be summoned by Shinto priests to serve as familiars or bodyguards. Zenki is a massive, musculare male Oni with red skin, two horns and an axe, while Gouki is a female blue Oni with a single horn carrying a stone jug with her. | |

Big Bad | |
Oni / int_970c790a | comment |
Tarakudo and the other Oni Generals, the antagonists of Season 4 of Jackie Chan Adventures. They have the ability to summon the Shadowkhan, demonic warriors made out of shadows. They were trapped in Hannya masks that represented their own faces, and could possess anyone who wore them. Tohru, one of the good guys, was deeply afraid of the Oni because of the stories he heard from his mom. Ironically enough, these fears mean that he has a better idea of their strengths and weaknesses, and has a limited ability to sense their presence. This is important since Uncle's Chinese magic doesn't include any spells for dealing with oni (and he can't decipher Japanese mystical texts without help), meaning that for most of the season he's forced to assist his apprentice Tohru instead of doing everything himself. | |

Oni / int_ab2df806 | comment |
The Oni's proverbial ferocity and strength were so renowed that many warriors, especially from the Azuchi-Momoyama (Sengoku, if you prefer) period, were often nicknamed "Oni" by their peers or successors, examples include Shibata Katsuiie, Shimazu Yoshihiro, Hattori Hanzō and Ii Naomasa (The Red Oni, because of the engine-red armor he and his troops wore). | |

Benienma is also an oni, though unlike Shuten and Ibaraki she's a Hell Oni who's part of Hell's Celestial Bureaucracy. She also doesn't have any of the typical physical traits oni have, instead having a sparrow motif since she originates from the Japanese folk tale "The Tongue-Cut Sparrow". | |

One of the Transformation Rays in Sgt. Frog essentially turns people into Oni, by cheaply slapping on Oni features, arming them with clubs and turning their clothes into hide loincloths. Female victims tend to wind up looking like Lum. | |

Kaiju | |
Oni / int_c34a1799 | comment |
Oni kaiju have appeared in some of the Ultra Series Ultraman Ace: One of Yapool's monsters was Oni-Devil, who was the Monster of the Week in an episode about the Japanese holiday of Setsubun (see the "Other" folder). Ultraman Taro had Enmargo, a giant oni samurai sealed away inside a cliff by a Buddhist monk and remained imprisoned with a magic statue of the monk. Later on, Taro battles an oni-like alien named Onibanba, who despises the Setsubun holiday and is based on the famous ogress Onibaba. Ultraman Leo's Oni-On loved to eat fruit and could breathe tear gas (onion, get it?). Fittingly, he appeared in an episode based on the fairy tale of Momotaro the Peach Boy. Sakuna Oni from Ultraman Tiga was a sword-wielding oni with two faces and one eye on each. He was originally defeated long ago by the samurai Kagetatsu, but returned in the present when thieves stole Kagetatsu's sword. Gorothunder, debuting in Ultraman Taiga, is a cross between an Oni and a Raijin, and wields an Oni's club as his default weapon. |

Taking You with Me | |
Oni / int_caf89e54 | comment |
ÅŒtakemaru was another extremely powerful Oni and one of the greatest Youkai of Japan alongside Shuten Doji (fellow Oni) and Tamamo no Mae, a master of sorcery in possession of three enchanted swords which made him invincible. Eventually he was tricked by the goddess he was wooing and defeated by an heroic general (after trying to have his severed head bite his skull off), but he reformed in a far away continent and returned with vengeance, only to be quelled again. | |

Oni / int_d028e0da | comment |
In ancient times, the Rashomon Gate in Kyoto was said to be the hunting ground of a ferocious Oni (sometimes identified as Ibaraki Doji, see above) simply known as the "Rashomonki". Eventually a samurai came there to investigate, was attacked by the Oni but managed to drive it away by cutting his arm, though later the Oni managed to get his severed limb back with a trick. | |

Lady Momiji or Princess Sarashina was a famous and powerful Kijo infesting Mount Togakushi and antagonist of the Noh (and later Kabuki) play Momijigari, where she's hunt down by the hero Taira no Kagemochi and slain with the sacred sword Kogarasumaru. She appears either as a beautiful princess with her attendants or as a giant female Oni with fiery maple branches for horns. | |

TheOgre | |
Oni / int_e7cc97 | comment |
Oni are the template for ogre magi in Dungeons & Dragons (in fact, one early Sourcebook referred to them as "Japanese ogres"). In 4th Edition, they decided to just call ogre magi "Oni" and be done with it, though in the 3E Oriental Adventures, Oni are a very wide grouping of demonic monsters that merely includes ogres. | |

Hard-Drinking Party Girl | |
Oni / int_f5afa308 | comment |
In The Monstergirl Encyclopedia, Red and Blue Oni are two of the many profiles. Red Oni are hot-headed Hard-Drinking Party Girls who live to eat, drink, party and have sex. Blue Oni are more intellectual and reserved, but become raging horny drunks when they drink. The work also includes the Ushi Oni, here depicted as a sort of cross between a tarantula-based drider and a minotaur that is an insatiable beast that roams the hills, looking for victims to capture for sex and whose blood is so powerful it can corrupt any who are touched by it. | |

While generally depicted as a human who transformed into an oni, there are multiple stories as to how this happened, including a strange fish eaten by his mother, a curse for spurning the love of his female admirers, or becoming stuck in an oni costume after breaking monastic vows against drinking sake. He is also sometimes described as the son of the Orochi and/or an incarnation of the Buddhist "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven" Mara. | |
