Onmyo Taisenki is a Japanese manga series written by Hiroyuki Kaido and illustrated by Yoshihiko Tomisawa. It was adapted into an anime series produced by Sunrise.
ANIME PLOT:
Riku Tachibana is a 12-year old Japanese boy who lives near Tokyo. Never having met his parents, he lives an ordinary life with his adoptive grandfather. His grandfather had taught him a series of strange hand movements, which Riku did not know the purpose of until the day his grandfather is attacked near his shrine. But it is not an ordinary attacker. The attacker is a Shikigami, strange monsters with human owners. Riku comes to the scene and that's where he first gets in contact with his Drive, the device he uses to call and make a 'contract' with Kogenta of the Byakko, his Shikigami and, from that day on, best friend.
The Shikigami needs, for special attacks, a special series of Seal, one of which happens to be the strange hand movements Riku's grandfather always taught him. As Riku's grandfather decides to leave the house for a journey, the 10-year old boy Souma Asuka and the 10-year old girl Nazuna rent rooms in Riku's house. The 17-year old man, Masaomi, who teaches Riku the secrets of Onmyodo (such as the use of Tojinfu, for example), drops by eventually. The three of them have 'contracts' with Shikigami. The main events of Onmyo Taisenki anime are related to the menace of the Chi-ryu, a powerful Japanese financial group related to the Onmyoudou; attempting to open the four Taiten , a boy who was born with the power to control yokai, and had been imprisoned for thousands of years.
VIDEOGAMES:
There are three Onmyou Taisenki games, being two for PlayStation 2, and one for Game Boy Advance. The first PS2 game is called 'Onmyou Taisenki - Byakko Enbu', and was released on March 31, 2005. The PlayStation 2 Eyetoy Camera is required to play this game. The second PS2 game is called 'Onmyou Taisenki - Hasha no In', and was released on June 26, 2005. It is a side-story with the same characters from the anime, where Kogenta and Riku train and become stronger through five Fukumaden, which are parallel worlds with lots of Youkai. The five Fukumaden featured in this game are Fire, Water, Tree, Earth and Disorder. The 'Gold' element from Onmyoudou is also featured in the game, but there is no Fukumaden for it.
In Onmyou Taisenki Hasha no In, which is based on the anime of the same name, you play as Riku, a warrior who has lots of special powers. Tagging in and out of action with your partner, Shikigami, you'll take on enemies using an action-based fighting system. The game includes an original storyline line told through cinema sequences that make use of the voice acting talent from the show. Also included is a free mode which allows for four characters to fight against one another.
Riku Tachibana, a fledgling student of Onmyou magic without knowing it at first, teams up with a Shikigami (elemental) named Kogenta and the two explore and battle in a vibrant 3-D action-adventure. The voice cast from the animation perform admirably in their respective roles to add authenticity to the game. An all-out battle mode for up to four players adds to the fun.
