Further, the press release for the Onimusha: Way of the Sword gameplay trailer states:
The new trailer unveiled the dark fantasy action game’s protagonist is none other than Miyamoto Musashi, a legendary figure in Japanese history…Musashi is a fierce young samurai who, in a supernatural twist of fate, finds himself wielding an Oni Gauntlet and battling hordes of demonic Genma.
Musashi’s face is modeled after Toshiro Mifune, the late, iconic Japanese movie star who portrayed Musashi in classic samurai films. Onimusha: Way of the Sword takes place in Kyoto, which has been corrupted by malevolent clouds of Malice summoning Hell into the world of the living and plunging feudal Japan’s capital into chaos. Equipped with an Oni Gauntlet, Musashi is granted power beyond human limits allowing him to slay monstrosities from the underworld, including the destructive axe-wielding Byakue, whose power grows when it becomes soaked in its own blood.
