Characters

CHARACTER

Small encounters move a great destiny.

Rin in her fox form

Fox clan

The heroine of this story, a fox girl who lives in Fox Village. To take back the stolen drum, she heads into Red Oni Forest with nothing but her power to transform.

FormsTRANSFORM

With the fox clan's power to transform, Rin changes her form. Each form runs differently, reaches different places, and can do different things. The Kappa and Tanuki become available in later chapters.

  • Fox form Hold to dash Fast on her feet, and the lightest of them all.
  • Human form Slide Double jump. Slides pass through attacks.
  • Red Oni form Hold to charge Release to smash brittle rocks.
  • Kappa form Water shot Throws the dish on its head and fires water. Moves just like a Human.
  • Tanuki form Vacuum Sucks in, then blows things away. The longer it sucks in, the stronger the wind.

Watch what each form can do

TRANSFORM

Using her fox powers, Rin can transform into many forms, taking on not only the appearance of her target but its abilities as well. As a human she handles weapons with skill; as a Red Oni or a Kappa she gains that race's special powers. Master each race's abilities to fight battles on your terms and uncover the secrets hidden in each stage.

People of Fox VillageVILLAGERS

In Fox Village, there are people who see Rin off. Many others live there too: Asane, who has fried the tofu every night; Shigeru, the lookout on the watchtower; Honatsu, who has painted the torii for thirty years.

  • Mizuki Has watched over Rin since she was small, and worries about her. The sight of her Red Oni form makes her hands shake.
  • Satsuki The best at transforming in the village. Rin learns the human form from her. The only grown-up who can transform without fried tofu.
  • Sontyo The village chief. Worried about the shrine's rooster, which hasn't come home since the Oni came.
  • Shugo The ladder maker. Stands at the foot of the watchtower, looking up at the broken ladder.
  • Yukie Tends the village's wounded. With the medicine gone, she means to go to the apothecary in the human town.
  • Nagito A young villager. Cannot fight, but he is fast.
  • Hina A child of the village. Whatever form you take, she can tell who you are by smell.
  • Merchant A travelling merchant, and secretly a fox. Run out of fried tofu, and the disguise falls away.

Those Who Stand in the WayFOES

It is not only oni who block the road. Some announce themselves before they stand in your way.

Portrait of Oko and Nico

Troublemaking Oni of the Forest

"Nobody runs wild on OUR mountain and gets away with it!"

Together they are "OkoNico". They stand in Rin's way in the forest so their comrades can flee with the drum. Oko has one horn on his forehead, Nico has two.

Portrait of Pocchaki & Mukimuki

Guardians of the Sake Storehouse

"Knew somethin' was fishy. You ain't from the village, are ya?"

The two who guard the vault at the back of the Oni Village brewery. Pocchaki talks a mile a minute in a Kansai drawl; Mukimuki says nothing but "Muki!"

The forest holds others who will get in Rin's way.

  • The Oni of the forest. Clubs, spears, bows, thrown rocks: how they fight depends on what they carry. Once they spot you, they give chase.

  • A big Oni that roams the forest. In the Oni Village, its hide is stretched over drums.

  •

    Floats around like a paper balloon. Only a headbutt can pop it.
