判明しているのは宮本武蔵、沢庵宗彭、初雲大国、大野尾、そして至上鬼龍頭に座す鬼の一族です。重要なのは武蔵だけが鬼龍の手を持つのではなく、沢庵と大野尾にもあるとされている点で、この手が主人公専用の武器ではないことを示しています。

Character information is one of the areas where fan wikis get ahead of the facts, so this page sticks to names that have actually appeared in Capcom's materials or in hands-on coverage, and flags everything else. The cast is small so far, and the relationships matter more than the headcount.
The most important structural detail is the Oni dragon hand. It is not a unique gift to the protagonist, and the question of who else has one is likely to be central to the plot.
Miyamoto Musashi
The protagonist, covered in full on his own page. He is a young Musashi in his wandering years, modelled on the actor Toshiro Mifune, who receives the Oni Gauntlet after being defeated by a Genma.
Everything about his arc starts from that defeat. See the Musashi page for his historical background, the likeness rights story and how the Gauntlet works mechanically.
Takuan Soho
Takuan is the most significant supporting character confirmed so far, and the one to watch. He is described as appearing at various stages of the story and being constantly at odds with Musashi, which is a polite way of saying the two are on a collision course.
The reason is in his hands. Takuan is described as having an Oni dragon hand as well, which immediately reframes the Gauntlet from a hero's gift into something shared — and probably contested.
The historical Takuan Soho was a genuine figure: a Rinzai Zen monk, calligrapher and advisor who lived through the same era as Musashi and is associated with the development of Zen-influenced swordsmanship thought. A Zen monk positioned against a wandering swordsman, both carrying the same demonic hand, is a promising setup.
Hatsugumo Okuno
Hatsugumo Okuno is described as a warrior among the notable characters in the game. Beyond that, published detail is thin, and we are not going to invent a backstory to fill the space.
Unconfirmed
Okuno's allegiance, role in the plot and relationship to Musashi have not been confirmed. The name appears in pre-release coverage without further detail.
Ono-o
Ono-o is described as a poet, and — this is the striking part — also has an Oni dragon hand. Pattern recognition suggests this is not incidental.
Three confirmed characters carrying the same demonic hand, including a monk and a poet rather than only fighters, points to the Gauntlet being a plot device about who is bound to what. That reading is our interpretation, not a stated fact, and it is worth restating as such.
Community-reported
The character names in this section come from pre-release coverage rather than a published Capcom cast list. Spelling may change when official credits are released.
The Oni clan
Beyond the named humans, there is the Oni clan, described as existing at the Supreme Oni Dragon Head. This is the demonic side of the cast rather than the human one, and it sits behind the Genma threat rather than alongside it.
Given that the Oni Gauntlet is referred to in some coverage as the Oni dragon hand, the naming overlap with the Supreme Oni Dragon Head is unlikely to be a coincidence. What that connection actually means has not been explained publicly.
The people of Kyoto
One group deserves a mention even though they are not named characters. Preview coverage describes a town where effectively every resident has made a bargain with the Genma, trading parts of their bodies to have their problems solved.
The example given in coverage is grimly memorable: a woman who must keep playing an instrument, and who is punished when she plays it wrong, is offered a fix by a Genma — it will simply take her fingers. She agrees. The game treats this as a horror-tinged deal with the devil rather than a joke.
These residents are how the story establishes what the Genma do to a city, and they are why the objective in that section is to find the Genma collecting the body parts rather than simply clearing enemies.
What is not confirmed
Unconfirmed
No official character roster, voice cast or character artwork captions have been published in the materials available to us. The total number of named characters is unknown, and no relationships beyond those described above have been confirmed.
When a wiki publishes a full cast table with voice actors and detailed biographies before launch, it is filling gaps. This page will be updated as Capcom confirms names rather than ahead of it.
Sources and confidence
Musashi's role is confirmed by Capcom. Takuan, Okuno, Ono-o and the Oni clan come from pre-release coverage. The claim that Takuan and Ono-o also carry an Oni dragon hand comes from the same tier of reporting.
