adding "Seven", mention of Chinese (?) calligraphy
(→Hidden messages in Oni art & trailer: this material is redundant now, and was slightly incorrect anyway, as the matrix *did* use lots of kanji) |

Konoko's name is never written in Oni, and so one can't really be sure what kanji/hiragana it would be composed of. Given the many meanings of "ko", tentative decompositions and interpretations can get rather wild. Thus, the meaning depends a lot on the context. But if you watch subtitled animé, you'll encounter this phrase fairly often, with the meaning "this child" ("kono ko"). | Konoko's name is never written in a Japanese script in Oni, and so one can't really be sure what kanji/hiragana it would be composed of.
