Recently, Capcom released a new character trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, featuring Murasaki Shikibu, the historical author of The Tale of Genji. Her character is depicted as a spirit whose physical body has passed away, yet lingers in the present world to continue weaving new stories.
Character Trailer:
Since Murasaki Shikibu dislikes going out, she sends her Pekingese dogs to various locations in Kyoto to gather "heartbreaking stories" for her. These stories are tied to the "Curious Cases" side quests, allowing players to encounter the tales she creates through related missions.
In the video, Murasaki Shikibu wears gold-rimmed glasses and traditional Japanese attire, exuding a unique aura that has sparked lively discussion among players. Many have noted that her facial features bear a striking resemblance to Chinese singer Zhang Liangying.
