ONY logo
**Ony**, often written in capitals as **ONY**, is a recurring placeholder brand for [Sony](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony "wikipedia:Sony") in most of [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama")'s works. Usually Ony is the standard brand for televisions and cell phones in Aoyama's series.
The name originally comes from *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* and was a play on words with Sony and "[Oni](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni "wikipedia:Oni")", since the products were created under the possessed [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru")'s reign over [Japan](/wiki/Japan "Japan"), during which he and his minions created some "demonized" versions of real companies and brands. First appearances of ONY products in different Manga often appear in conjunction with other *Yaiba* allusions.
