About
Originally a very serious person, Onimaru could not get along with Yaiba Kurogane at all and the two quickly became rivals. In order to defeat his hated enemy, Onimaru began training with his family's sacred Fuujin-ken until he became possesed by it and became an actual demon (the character for oni in his name means demon). He soon took over all of Japan, traveling in a flying castle. His minions include Kumo-Otoko and the Hakki, the Kuroki, the Shiteno, and many completely black oni. Eventually, he switches from the Fuujin-ken to the Maou-ken.
After Yaiba cuts off his horns he returns to being a normal human. At first he viewed Yaiba as a nuisance, but after training with Yaiba's father Kenjuro, he returns for the final story and now acknowledges Yaiba as a friendly rival. During the Oda Nobunaga Tournament he has a dove for a pet.
Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba
In both the original Magic Kaito crossover and the Detective Conan OVA, Onimaru breifly appears and has his oni minions shoot Yaiba and Kaitou Kid with a cannon during their mid-air battle.
