albeit weakly.  Yes, this needs a more analytic treatment.  References should be sought (and for those who read the relevant language, might easily be found) for interesting and valuable assertions in the article, like the assertion that ''oni'' figure in the Japanese version of hide and seek.  Most of the entries here are quite easily |verified just by looking; the claim that they are original research is simply wrong.Because ''oni'' figure quite prominently in many well known entertainments, and most English speakers like myself are first exposed to the concept through them, outright deletion of this data would leave a large gap in our coverage.  In the worst case scenario, '''move''' to a Talk:Oni/In popular culture|subpage of the talk page for discussion of which appearances are considered worthy of mention
