Sasaki Ganryu

Sasaki Ganryu, historically better known as Sasaki Kojiro, is a confirmed rival swordsman in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Capcom has shown him as a boss fight in the game's previews, reframing the historical figure as a challenger to Musashi Miyamoto within the Edo-era Kyoto setting.

Role

The real-world Miyamoto and Sasaki were famous duellists, and the game leans into that reputation by placing Ganryu across from Musashi as a named boss encounter.
