Takeshi serves as the main antagonist of Yaiba. He was originally a talented high school swordsman, but after his duel with Yaiba ended in a tie, he resolved to train more intensely. He eventually discovered a concealed basement housing the statues of the Thunder God and the Devil Wind, the latter of which held a sword. When he wielded the Devil Wind sword, he became possessed and sprouted horns, transforming into the Devil Wind incarnate. Although he utilizes the Devil Wind sword, he hands it over to Yaiba after obtaining the "Mao-Ken" Black Moon sword. Like many effective villains, Onimaru commands vast hordes of faceless minions that are little more than humanoid black figures with eyes, mouths, and a single horn protruding straight up from the center of their heads.
