The concept for Oni was devised by Brent Pease, whose primary influence was [[Mamoru Oshii]]'s animé film [[wikipedia:Ghost in the Shell (film)|Ghost in the Shell]] (adapted from [wikipedia:Masamune Shirow|Masamune Shirow]]'s [[Ghost_in_the_Shell_(manga)|manga series]]). Designs for [[Konoko]] and Commander [[Griffin]] can be seen to resemble the characters of [[wikipedia:Motoko Kusanagi|Motoko Kusanagi]] and [[wikipedia:Daisuke Aramaki|Daisuke Aramaki]]. Early development even presented Konoko as a [[cyborg]] (see: [[1998#Trailer]]), which together with the tech-crime-fighting context amounted to near-plagiarism of GITS. At some point, Hardy LeBel was brought in to revamp the story<sup>1</sup>. The final version of Oni abandons the cyborg heroine and instead introduces original concepts such as [[Daodan]] and [[SLD]]s. | The concept for Oni was devised by Brent Pease, whose primary influence was [[wikipedia:Mamoru Oshii|Mamoru Oshii]]'s animé film [[wikipedia:Ghost in the Shell (film)|Ghost in the Shell]] (adapted from [[wikipedia:Masamune Shirow|Masamune Shirow]]'s [[wikipedia:Ghost_in_the_Shell_(manga)|manga series]]).
