The '''Oni matrix''' is a visual element that was used in artwork for Oni's promotional material. It appeared in Oni's [[Trailers|1999 trailer]] a few months after the release of The Matrix, a movie with a well-known Japanese influence, which made use of a thematic element consisting of green characters (mostly numbers and [[wikipedia:kana|kana]]) scrolling down the screen (as seen in the last few seconds of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8e-FF8MsqU the trailer]). The Oni matrix likewise consists of numbers and symbols, though it only uses 0s and 1s for numbers and it uses all three of Japan's scripts: kanji, katakana and hiragana. It would be clear just from looking at it that Oni's matrix image was inspired by The Matrix, even if the actual file name of the promotional image didn't say "matrix" in it. | The '''Oni matrix''' is a visual element that was used in artwork for Oni's promotional material.
