Profile
They are often henchmen or grunts yet have speaking roles, albeit minor ones.

Shin Megami Tensei: if.. Hazama's Chapter
Oni is fought in a room where the player finds a Magic Box which gives the player an item needed to fight Yaksa.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
Oni are the main force of the Mantra Army, as several are seen populating both Ikebukuro and the Mantra Headquarters.

Aside from the regular Oni, there were also four Oni with special powers, Ongyo-Ki, Fuu-Ki, Sui-Ki and Kin-Ki, who were once the Mantra's elite, before somehow falling out with the Army's Commander, Thor. They were cast out of the Mantra Army and were left to become bandits in the tunnels leading to Asakusa.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
Oni can be contracted in Ueno and Ikebukuro during the in-game daytime hours. It appears as the final boss of Act 7 following a player's DB License test. He appears as an enemy in Ikebukuro as a demon contracted by punks, as a summon by the four oni bosses in Shinjuku, one of the invading forces in Shinagawa during the weekend invasion periods, and the boss of the Suginami camp hacked chip instance. An oni non-playable character plays a central role in some limited events, such as Setsubun-themed events, summer beach events, and a Valentine's event where he showed some interest in Moh Shuuvu.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Oni appear as regular enemies in the basements of Sector Antlia. Several special Oni serve as Morax's special elite troopers. Another Oni appears as part of an EX Mission, Fool Eat Meat!, having indeed eaten Cerberus' special dinner.

Shin Megami Tensei IV DEMONIC GENE
Oni alongside Fuu-Ki is one of the first demons to attack Walter when he arrives in Tokyo. The Black Samurai is able to defeat both before they could finish Walter and a Casualry.

Persona 4
Oni is needed to perform a cross fusion along with Fuu-Ki, Sui-Ki and Kin-Ki, in order to create the ultimate persona of the Hermit arcana, Ongyo-Ki.

DemiKids Light & Dark
Known as Ogre.
