Half-oni tend to either be troubled or calm and collected souls. Depending on the village some of these half-oni are accepted and treated kindly living in peace with other humans, while some other villages may treat them like abominations and may even try to kill the half-oni in its sleep, as they fear it shall do the same. But there are also some who will choose to try to live in human societies and show that they are no harm. These locations may be remote mountains, caves, forgotten islands, or abandoned fortresses. Most half-oni will choose to live with their oni brethren, as other humanoid settlements fear the oni as well as anything that comes from it. After the humiliation Kidōmaru caused the oni, when a half-oni is born, the oni parent typically tries to take the child away and indoctrinate them into their ways. Since then, groups of half-oni and oni have been the scourge of civilization. Many assumed they were simply younger oni, being taught by their parents until rumors spread of people being kidnapped and the smaller oni's actually being full-grown half-onis. He concealed himself inside of a cow's corpse, planning to ambush his father’s killer but was outwitted and ultimately defeated.Īfter this, it was many years until reports of oni-like creatures began being sighted amongst the horrible demon-giants. When Kidōmaru’s father was slain by a knight, he tried to avenge his father’s death by killing that man. When his mother passed away, he went to live with his father, king of the oni up in the mountains.

Although part human, Kidōmaru was treated poorly by humans from his village for carrying the blood of a yōkai. The first recordings of an oni hanyo was named Kidōmaru, the son of Shuten Dōji and a human woman. The half-oni, also known as hanyo (meaning 'half-demon'), is a mixture of a human and the oni yōkai either by birth or by unnatural means. Regardless of a half-oni's appearance, their mixed heritage makes it so they never truly look like a member of their non-oni's parent's race, but they are never as horrifying as their full-blooded oni brethren. Half-oni's height varies considerably, as some half-oni are tall and thin, while others can be extremely large and bulky. These half breeds retain the appearance of both their humanoid and oni parent, with many having horns, fang-like tusks, sharp teeth, and/or extremely wild hair. The half-oni is born from a humanoid and oni that fall in love or when particular wizards experiment with breeding an oni.
