With less than six weeks until the launch of Okamiden on the Nintendo DS, we are excited to be bringing you new asset reveals each week leading up to launch. Each blast will reveal new characters or enemies that the main character, Chibiterasu, will encounter during his journey. This week, check out three new videos and artwork introducing Ryo, Shiranui, Isshaku and Shakuya. You’ll find additional details on the characters and environments on the press center and the Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/Okami. Don’t miss one of the last great games tailor-made for the DS releasing March 15, 2011!
Ryo
This demon is the sum of all those who lusted after worldly pelf. At some point this demon traded the pursuit of riches for human souls. He is always calculating the best ways of luring new souls to his clutches, and will use any means he can to obtain them including lending out souls in order to collect a fatally high interest.
Shiranui
The grandfather of Chibiterasu, an incarnation of Amaterasu, the sun-god-turned-wolf in Ōkami.
Isshaku
The grandfather of Issun, he played a big role in expelling Orochi over 100 years ago. Once the companion of Shiranui (the incarnation of Amaterasu at that time), he watched helplessly as Shiranui sacrificed himself for the sake of Nippon.
Shakuya
The spirit of the sacred tree, Konohana, and watches over Kamiki Village. She gives advice to Chibiterasu in an effort to save Nippon from the evil that has attacked the land once more.
