Onimusha: Way of the Sword JP — Japanese Version

In Japan the game is titled 鬼武者 Way of the Sword, continuing the Onimusha franchise's long history. It is developed and published by Capcom, and the Japanese release is the home-market version of the same game.

The Japanese version launched alongside the global release on September 4, 2026, and includes the full Japanese audio track as its default presentation.

Miyamoto Musashi is voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya in Japanese. The English dub features Kenjiro Thompson, so both casts exist across the regional versions.

The full Japanese cast list for the supporting characters has not been published in the collected material, so those names are marked to be confirmed.

Capcom published a Japanese trailer and JP promotional site for the game. The Japanese trailer shows the same cinematic reveal and gameplay as the Western trailer, with Japanese voice-over.

Japanese gameplay footage is widely available on YouTube and showcases the full Japanese dub during the opening Kiyomizu-dera section.

The core content is identical between the Japanese and Western versions — same story, combat, platforms and launch date. The main difference is the default audio and interface language.

Any claim of censored or altered content between regions is not supported by the collected material, so treat such claims as unverified.

The Japanese version is available through the Japanese Steam, PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store and Nintendo eShop. If you are outside Japan, you can typically still access Japanese audio through the in-game language options.

Regional availability and pricing for the JP storefronts have not been catalogued here, so check the Japanese store listing directly for the exact price.
