Izumo No Okuni

Izumo No Okuni is one of the confirmed allied characters in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. In real-world history she is credited with founding kabuki theatre in the early 17th century, and the game folds that identity into her supernatural role as a supporter of Musashi Miyamoto.

Role

Capcom's published framing describes her as providing eccentricity to the team, setting her apart from the raw power of Lady Oni and the magic brought by Ono No Takamura. Her kabuki heritage is reflected in her visual design and in how she carries herself in trailers.
