The main focus is on instance files (.dat/.raw) and not on hardcoded text in Oni.exe which was localized – typically limited to the strings "Syndicate Warehouse" and "Save Point %d", and [[Cheats|cheat]]-related messages.

:Extra font files (JPN_BIG.fnt, JPN_MIDDLE.fnt, JPN_SMALL.fnt, JPN_BOLD.fnt) are also not discussed here, since they have no equivalent in the English version(s).

The table on the right lists the file properties for the specific Japanese version that was examined. For the file properties of the reference English version(s), see [[OBD:Versions|HERE]]. File sizes exactly identical to the '''US''' and/or '''''UK''''' versions (level[2-4,6,8-9,14,18]_Final.dat) have been marked in '''bold''' and '''''bold italic''''', respectively. Significantly larger file sizes (level0_Final.dat) have been <u>underlined</u>.

Typically a level will have a larger .dat file in the Japanese version because it contains more instances of some type or other. If the case of Japanese Oni, there are extra sounds (alternative takes and copies from other Oni versions, see [[#Alternative takes|BELOW]]) in level1_Final, level10_Final, and any level that features Ninjas or "ninjabots". There are also variations in the sharing of ONCP files (unnamed) between ONCCs (named). After removing the superfluous SNDDs and repacking with optimized ONCP sharing, the level .dat files have the same size as for English Oni (repacked as well).

A detailed analysis of the level#_Final files of the Japanese version, covering [[OBD:Raw_and_separate_file_formats#Gaps|gaps in .raw files]] or [[OBD:File_types/Named#TRCM|unnamed orphans]] has not been performed at this point. It is a somewhat tedious process involving OniBrowser, hex viewing, and lots of <strike>masochism</strike>patience.
