Here are Konoko's [[seven]] outfits in Oni along with the game's resource names for them, and the chapters they are worn in:

Here are the outfits in order by Chapter, with rationales given in the Commentary. The dates are taken from Konoko's diary unless they are followed by a question mark. The Interval column helps illustrate the reason for a change or no change in outfit from the previous Chapter.

|before Oni
|N/A
|Konoko prepares for training in what will be her standard outfit for missions (and 7 out of 14 levels in Oni).
|-

|Syndicate Warehouse
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko1_w0_s.gif
|11/22
|???
|We shouldn't assume that Konoko finished her basic training and was immediately assigned to a mission, so we don't know how much time has elapsed since Ch. 0.
|-
|2
|Musashi Manufacturing
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko2_w1_s.gif
|11/22
|immediate
|Konoko speeds on her bike from the Warehouse to Musashi. While doing so, her outfit magically changes to a police uniform ''sans'' armor, then reverts back to her armored outfit next Chapter!
|-
|3
|Vago Biotech
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko1_w0_s.gif
|11/22
|immediate
|Realizing that Musashi was a wild goose chase, she then speeds on her bike to face Barabas at Vago, apparently changing back to her armor while driving!
|-

|Vansam Airport (Public)
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko1_w0_s.gif
|11/22

|Konoko then immediately tails Muro's van to the airport.
|-

|Vansam Airport (Cargo Hangars)
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko1_w0_s.gif
|11/22

|A continuation of the previous level.
|-

|TCTF Regional HQ
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko3_w0_s.gif
|11/24
|two days
|It's not surprising that Konoko is now dressed more casually, as a couple days have elapsed and she is not on a mission when the level begins.
|-

|ACC (Exterior)
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko1_w0_s.gif
|11/24
|hours
|That same day, Konoko equips herself for a rescue mission by putting on her battle armor and getting her glider, and sets out without permission to find Shinatama.
|-

|ACC (Interior)
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko1_w0_s.gif
|11/24
|immediate
|A continuation of the previous level.
|-
|9
|Regional State
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko4_w0_s.gif
|11/26
|two days
|Konoko is no longer a TCTF agent, so from this point on she wears functional civilian clothes.
|-

|Rooftops
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko4_w0_s.gif
|11/26
|immediate
|A continuation of the previous level.
|-
|11
|Hasegawa's Lab
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko5_w0_s.gif
|11/28
|two days
|We can infer the date 11/28 from the diary entry dated 11/29 which makes a note not to eat pizza before bed, referring to the previous night's bad dream in Chapter 11.
|-
|12
|TCTF Science Prison
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko3_w0_s.gif
|11/30?
|two days?
|This level probably takes place at least one day after the 11/29 pizza entry, or else she would have mentioned in that entry that she is storming a high-security TCTF compound. Konoko has interchangeably worn this jacket and these pants a few times by now, but they will not appear again after this level, as they were lost in the "acid bath".
|-
|13
|TCTF Regional HQ
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko6_w1_s.gif
|12/1?
|one day?
|Konoko probably needs at least a day after her ordeal at Science Prison to regroup and make this raid on her old HQ. The jacket is the same one worn in Ch. 9 and 10, so presumably she has somewhere to store things like clothing and equipment since going rogue from the TCTF.
|-
|14
|Syndicate Mountain Compound
|http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/charas/images/ko7_w0_s.gif
|12/3
|two days?
|We know the date for this level but not how long it's been since Ch. 13. Here Konoko wears a surprisingly casual outfit for a one-woman assault on the bad guy's stronghold (and jeans aren't good for fighting in!). But with her Chrysalis advancing, it doesn't seem to matter ''what'' she wears.
