"Empty-handed, I was born. Empty-handed, I will ascend. Blade, or bullet; fist, or bone. Spear, stone, or arrow, these are merely tools. I am the one to fear."
— Oni

Hiro Watanabe (Japanese: 渡辺 ヒロ), also known as Oni, is an Operator of the KorTac faction featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. Oni was exclusive to PlayStation until November 4th, 2023, when he was released on Xbox and PC as part of the "Oni Operator Pack".

Biography[]

Hiro Watanabe was born in a samurai clan that had turned to a life of crime after falling on hard times. By the time he was born, Watanabe's father was a well established criminal in the underworld. Growing up, his grandfather always reminded him that their family wasn’t always about this criminal enterprise and learned his family used to have a very high standing within the community and had a noble name.

Instead of becoming a criminal, Watanabe ran away from his family and joined the military, eventually gaining the callsign "Oni". He was very proficient, quickly rising through the ranks and even earning a spot in an elite multi-national special forces unit with missions across the globe.

In time, he returned home, eager to come back to Japan and protect and fight the threats on the home front, as his ancestors had done long before him.

Not long after, Oni's father used his criminal influence to get his son dishonorably discharged out of the military. Oni was forced to become a mercenary and vowed to continue his fight against his father and clear his family's soiled name.

Trivia[]

  • During the exclusivity period, although his voice can still be heard in-game, Oni would not show up normally on Xbox and PC platforms, and appears as a KorTac Mil-Sim. Following the Season Five update, however, Oni's head appears on the KorTac Mil-Sim body.
    • With a Season Six update on October 17th, 2023, Oni's skins are made fully visible on Xbox and PC platforms. Oni can also be selected on those platforms if a player owns him on PlayStation and has multiple platform accounts linked.
  • When paired with his default Finishing Move, "Bloody Percussionist", the swords on Oni's back will disappear before being sheathed again after the animation is finished.
