ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni Characters
Kuuta
A soldier in the Demon King’s army and the sole survivor of the battle with Momotaro on Onigashima Island. He vows to overthrow Momotaro and he undergoes trial to become stronger on the island where spirits of ancient demon warriors lie dormant, Kisejima Island.
Kuuta is quiet and seldom talks but he is very determined to become strong.
Kazemaru
A mysterious, ghostlike spirit but also very talkative on Kisejima Island with unknown origins. Kazemaru acts as Kuuta’s training partner and aids him in battle with its unique ability to extract spirits from their enemies.
Zenisuke
A merchant that follows Kuuta to Kisejima Island and has a long and bitter history with Kuuta. He provides Kuuta with clubs, demon clothing, food and other items in exchange for mushrooms. He never forgets to take what is rightfully his even if he is thankful for Kuuta’s help.
Baby Boar
A young wild boar that lives on Kisejima Island carrying Kuuta on its back as it traverses the island. It mainly eats mushrooms and lives a carefree life.
Kanna
A mysterious girl who looks fragile and weak but strong and surprisingly stubborn. She was raised by her father, a fisherman and her kind mother and she loves tofu. Kanna and Kuuta forged a bond when the two met after Kuuta came ashore to undergo a trial.
Kanna seems hurt by the conflict between humans and demons.
