Onimusha: Way of the Sword Japanese Audio Guide

Yes. The game ships with a Japanese audio track, and the Japanese dub is fully voiced and featured in gameplay footage. The Japanese dialogue covers cutscenes and combat voice lines throughout.

The game is a Japanese production by Capcom, so the Japanese track is the original performance rather than a secondary dub.

Miyamoto Musashi is voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya, best known for Reiner Braun in Attack on Titan. His performance is the anchor of the Japanese track.

The voice actors for the rest of the cast, including Sasaki Ganryu, Shizuka Gozen and Minamoto no Yoshitsune, are not confirmed in the collected material and are marked to be confirmed.

The exact menu path for switching audio is not documented in the collected material, so it is marked to be confirmed. In most Capcom releases, the audio language is set from the options or audio settings menu.

If you are on Steam, the language may also be tied to your Steam language settings, so check both the in-game options and the platform-level language preference.

Reviewers consistently praised the Japanese dub as excellent, while the English dub drew some online criticism for how un-Japanese its tone sounded to some players. One reviewer still found the English cast charming.

For a game set in early Edo Japan with a real swordsman as the hero, most fans recommend the Japanese audio for authenticity, but both tracks are included so you can choose.

Japanese-language gameplay footage and the Japanese trailer are both available on YouTube, showing the full Japanese dub in action. These are a good way to preview the audio before buying.

If you want the full Japanese experience, the JP version of the game is identical in content and simply defaults to Japanese presentation.
