ONIKAGE
Presence before the first punch.
A character-led take on Tenchu’s charismatic antagonist. Expression, physicality and a carefully paced fight give the action a personality of its own.
Independent fan film. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Tenchu rights holders.
02 / Visual direction
Intimate expressions meet bamboo, architectural detail and explosive movement. A restrained palette keeps the character at the centre.

Character direction, cinematic action, selected sequences, editing and sound brought together as a complete short film.
04 / The finished film
A portrait-format character trailer with a deliberate build, sustained combat and a final encounter after the fade.
