Onimusha 3: Demon Siege - Characters

Characters

Hidemitsu Samanosuke Akechi (明智 左馬介秀満, Akechi Samanosuke Hidemitsu?) Voiced by: Takeshi Kaneshiro (Japanese), Robin Atkin Downes (English)

The primary protagonist of the video game, he is a master swordsman who travels across Japan seeking his rival. Often perceived as a passionless soldier because of his quiet ways, Samanosuke is actually a hot-blooded warrior with a noble sense of justice. He is a playable character.

Jacques Blanc (ジャック・ブラン, Jakku Buran?) Voiced by: Jean Reno (French), Takayuki Sugo (Japanese), Paul Mercier (English)

Another primary protagonist, he is a French secret service agent who lost his friend Philippe (フィリップ?) an elite policeman when fighting the Genma. When Samanosuke goes to his time, he goes to the past and receives the Magic Power of the Oni. He also has an automatic rifle but, due to the lack of ammo in Feudal Japan, its use is limited. Jacques is an honorable man and a dedicated worker. He is a playable character.

Michelle Aubert (ミシェル・オベール, Misheru Obēru?) Voiced by: Yu Asakawa (Japanese), Jennifer Hale (English)

A French army officer and Jacque's fiancée. She works with Samanosuke to help save Paris. She is briefly playable twice throughout the game.

Ako (阿児?) Voiced by: Omi Minami (Japanese), Amber Hood (English)

A small Tengu that assists Samanosuke and Jacques during their adventure. She is able to travel through time to assist both characters, including taking some items with her. When she is around people, they can understand each other's language (i.e. the French characters speak in Japanese or English, depending on the version of the video game).

Henri (アンリ, Anri?) Voiced by: Akiko Yajima (Japanese), Daniel Beni Estrada (English)

Jacques son, he shows the unique ability of communicating with his father through time-space continuum (without any perceivable medium) in times of dire need. This unique ability which even surprises Ako is instrumental in solving one of the video game's puzzles. Henri has trouble imagining Michelle for a godmother, though he copes with it.

Nobunaga Oda (織田信長, Oda Nobunaga?) Voiced by: Akio Ōtsuka (Japanese), Richard Doyle (English)

The Genma Lord and the primary antagonist of the video game, he survived Jubei's attempt on his life and resumed his campaign on conquering Japan. He appears as the final boss at the end of the game and is slain by Samanosuke.

Tokichiro Kinoshita Voiced by: Tōru Ōkawa (Japanese), Armin Shimerman (English)

One of Nobunaga's high ranking generals, Kinoshita has the warlord's complete trust. Though he has sworn absolute loyalty to Nobunaga, the only thing Kinoshita truly cares about is his own advancement in the ranks of power.

Ranmaru Mori (森 蘭丸, Mori Ranmaru?) Voiced by: Masakazu Suzuki (Japanese), Joshua Keaton (English)

One of the loyal servants of Nobunaga. Ranmaru fights Samanosuke several times in the game, twice in Genma form. He is slain by Jacques in front of the Eiffel tower.

Tadakatsu Heihachirō Honda (本多平八郎忠勝, Honda Heihachirō Tadakatsu?) Voiced by: Tesshō Genda (Japanese), Dee Bradley Baker (English)

Ieyasu's general who helps Samanosuke in the time of Sengoku many times. Ironically, he battles Jacques thrice throughout the game, each time abandoning the battle inconclusive, thus his true identity, motives and loyalties are not revealed before later in the game.

Mitsuhide Akechi (明智光秀, Akechi Mitsuhide?) Voiced by: Norio Wakamoto (Japanese), Paul Eiding (English)

Samanosuke's uncle and the leader of the revolt at Honno-ji.

Guildenstern (ギルデンスタン, Girudensutan?) Voiced by: Tamio Ōki (Japanese), Neil Ross (English)

A Genma scientist who creates most of the Genma's arsenal. He is slain by Samanosuke.

Gargant (ガルガント, Garuganto?) Voiced by: Takaya Kuroda (Japanese), Dee Bradley Baker (English)

A former Oni warrior that joined the Genma, swearing undying allegiance to Fortinbras. But after the demise of Fortinbras, he had yielded his position as the righthand man under the new Genma Lord, Oda Nobunaga. It is unknown if Gargant formed and mutated into a Genma by joining them.

Vega Donna (ベガドンナ, Begadonna?) Voiced by: Naoko Kouda (Japanese), Vanessa Marshall (English)

Nobunaga's loyal wife, known historically as Nōhime (濃姫). Like many of the Oda Clan, she has also taken the form of a genma. She is slain by Jacques.
