currently featured in Dead by Daylight
.
She was introduced as the Killer of CHAPTER 23: Sadako Rising, a Chapter DLC released on 8 March 2022.
She originates from the 1998 Horror movie Ring (Japanese: リング, Ringu).
Overview
|
Capable of condemning Survivors to death through a powerful cursed videotape, Sadako’s wrath is inevitable. Her presence conjures several televisions, through which she can teleport and emerge with malevolent purpose. The fleeting glimpse of her approach ensures that a chilling fate is not far behind. | 
|
The Onryō is a vengeful ghost imbued with the power of Nensha, The Onryō is able to silently and invisibly traverse the Realm, manifesting when she is ready to strike.
Her personal Perks, Scourge Hook: Floods of Rage
, Call of Brine
, and Merciless Storm
, allow her to expose hidden Survivors, survey Generators, and hamper Repair progress.
Difficulty Rating: Hard
(These Killers use mechanics that are specific to them and require more practice to be effective)
Lore
A powerful and lethal onryō, Sadako Yamamura was the daughter of a famed seer from Izu Oshima, Japan.
Her mother left many questions unanswered. In her hometown, sailors disliked the way her mother would spend days on the beach, her eyes fixed on the foaming waves of the sea. Some said, frolic in brine, goblins be thine--if you keep playing in the water, the monster will come for you.
Nine months later, Sadako was born. As a child, her immense powers seemed impossible to control and flared in anger. This became apparent when she was unable to control her rage during a public demonstration of her mother’s powers. When a journalist called her mother a fraud, Sadako’s powers surged, and the journalist collapsed on the floor, struck dead.
Then everything went wrong. Her mother passed away and shortly after Sadako was lured to an old, crumbling well. As she leaned over the rim, a long shadow fell over her. She turned and a sudden jolt of pain hit her over the head, cracking it open. Her vision dimmed and her mind swirled into unconsciousness. She felt two hands pushing her over the rim.
Pain exploded in her skull as she hit the cold ground. A grinding noise came from above and the well darkened, all light obscured like a midday eclipse.
Every inch of her body screamed in pain. Looking up, she saw the only way out. She dug her nails into the muddy ground and slowly crawled toward the cobbled wall. She gripped the stones to climb but had neither hold nor strength. Each time she clawed up a few inches, her nails slid against the wet wall and she slipped down. Her fingers gushed with blood as the coarse cobblestone tore off her nails and lacerated the flesh underneath. And yet she tried, again and again.
Decades later, the meadow became a resort, and a log cabin was built above the well. When a visitor rented the cabin, Sadako found an opportunity for revenge. She summoned all her nensha power and projected a terrible curse on a videotape that killed its viewer after seven days.
Her wrath was like the tides of a stormy sea, violent and unforgiving. As she plunged into a fury, a dark fog coiled at her feet. The sound of crashing waves echoed through the old stone well.
Suddenly, a tidal surge came crashing down on the cabin's walls, wrecking its logs into a torrent of mud and filth. The black current flooded the well underneath and swallowed Sadako at once.
When she opened her eyes, she stood on a desolate beach facing a vast, stormy ocean. A thick, black fog caressed the water's surface.
Sadako walked into a coming wave and slowly disappeared into the opaque fog.

|
Prestige

.
Prestige The Onryō twice more to automatically add Tier II and Tier III respectively into the other Killers' inventories.
Weapon: Ring of Fury
The Ring of Fury is the Primary Weapon of The Onryō.
Her thirst for vengeance remained and nothing could stop her flooding rage.
Power: Deluge of Fear
"Through the medium of a mysterious videotape, Sadako spreads her curse to unwitting viewers and causes their untimely deaths."
SPECIAL ABILITY: DELUGE OF FEAR
The Onryō starts the Trial in the Demanifested State, which has the following effects:
- Grants the Undetectable
Status Effect.
- This effect lingers for 1 second after Manifesting.
- Fully invisible to Survivors who are farther than 24 metres away from her.
- Intermittently invisible to Survivors who are within 24 metres of her.
- This effect lingers for 4 seconds after Manifesting.
- Removes the ability to attack or interact with Survivors.
- The Onryō is still able to interact with Props.
- The Onryō cannot be stunned by Pallets
.
SPECIAL ABILITY: MANIFESTATION / DEMANIFESTATION
Press the Power button while Demanifested to Manifest and be able to attack and interact with Survivors.
Press the Power button while Manifested to Demanifest again.
SPECIAL PROP: TV
TVs
spawn randomly throughout the environment.
They are turned off at the start of the Trial, but turn on automatically after 30 seconds.
They become turned off for 70 seconds after a Survivor inserts a VHS Tape
or for 45 seconds after The Onryō projects through it.
TVs have an Area of Effect of 16 metres around them within which they apply Condemned and any other applicable effects.
SPECIAL LOCOMOTION: PROJECTION
Press the Secondary Power button while Demanifested to project yourself to any powered TV in the environment.
If the Power Gauge is full when projecting, all Survivors within the Area of Effect of any powered TV receive +1 Stack of Condemned.
After a Projection, her Movement speed is increased to 6.9 m/s for 2 seconds.
SPECIAL AFFLICTION: CONDEMNED
Interacting with the Power of The Onryō causes Survivors to gain Condemned, slowly filling their Condemned Meter.
Hooking a Survivor locks in some of their Condemned making the affected Stacks impossible to remove:
- The first time being hooked locks in all current Condemned up to 3 Stacks, leaving a minimum of 4 Stacks empty.
- The second time being hooked locks in all current Condemned up to 6 Stacks, leaving a minimum of 1 Stack empty.
Once the Condemned Meter is full at 7 Stacks, they are in mortal danger from the Inexorable Stare.
SPECIAL INTERACTION: INEXORABLE STARE
Upon reaching full Condemned the affected Survivors triggers Killer Instinct for 6 seconds.
Press the Secondary Power button while standing over a downed and fully Condemned Survivor to execute them on the spot, performing a Mini-Mori.
SPECIAL INTERACTIONS: RETRIEVING TAPE / TURNING OFF TV
Survivors can walk up to any powered TV and interact with it to retrieve its Cursed Tape, which temporarily turns it off and prevents The Onryō from projecting to it.
Inserting the Cursed Tape into a different TV spreads the message of The Onryō and removes -3 Stacks of Condemned.

- The Onryō is the first Killer to be of short height, with the previous shortest Killers being considered of average height.
- The Onryō's last name, Yamamura (山村), consists of the characters yama (山), meaning "mountain", and mura (村), meaning "town" or "village". As such, her last name can be roughly translated to "Mountain Village".
- The Onryō is the first and to date only Killer to not injure Survivors with a physical weapon or her bare fists, instead conjuring a Kanji glyph which she projects forward to injure Survivors with.
- The Onryō is the second Killer to not physically interact with the environment or Survivors, relying solely on her telekinetic abilities or her Kanji glyph.
- The Onryō is the second Killer to use telekinesis to perform interactions.

- The Onryō has a unique breathing sound which resembles ocean waves. This is a reference to her supposed biological father, a malevolent entity which lives in the ocean.
- According to Nicolas Cage during Summer Game Fest 2023, The Onryō is one of the reasons Nicolas Cage became interested in a collaboration with Behaviour Interactive, with horror being his favourite genre.
- Purchasing the "Sadako Rising" DLC or The Onryō through the in-game store will start a hidden one week timer. After this timer is up, a special video will play when loading up the game, referencing the cursed video from the films.
- The Onryō is one of just a few Killers with the base-kit ability to kill Survivors using her Power.
- The Onryō is the third Japanese killer added to Dead by Daylight
Lullaby
- The Onryō's Lullaby has directional audio, which is unique as most Lullabies are non-directional.[1]
- Although coded as a Lullaby, it acts as a directional audio cue for when she is Demanifested and Undetectable.
Origin
- BHVR confirmed that the 1998 movie and its sequel, were their only source of inspiration for the creation of CHAPTER 23: Sadako Rising and its content, the novel from 1991 had no influence on it and any aspects from it are considered non-canon for Dead by Daylight[2].
Kanji Characters
- The Kanji glyph in her default outfits is 呪, meaning "Curse".
- The Kanji glyph in her Rotten Remains outfit is 恨, meaning "Resentment".
- The Kanji glyph in her Blighted outfit changes is 怨, meaning "Grudge, Resentment, or Jealousy".
- The Kanji glyph in her Deadly Equinox outfit is 華, meaning "Flower".
Lobby Jump-Scare
- When idling in the menu or levelling up her Bloodweb, The Onryō will occasionally jump-scare the Player by swiftly teleporting up close to the camera and staring at the Player.
- If the Player turns The Onryō around to prevent the jump-scare, she will instantly turn herself back to face the camera for the jump-scare, then return to the position the Player left her facing.
Cursed Video
- The Cursed Video plays on a TV whenever a Survivor is within 16 metres of it, otherwise it just plays static.
This can be used to gauge a Survivor's whereabouts if they are stealthy.
Mori
- The Onryō, in a technical sense, is the fifth Killer to have two Memento Mori animations.
- The Onryō is the second Killer to have two entirely different Moris.
- The Onryō's default Mori features her lifting the Survivor up with telekinetic powers, breaking their right arm, then left leg, and dropping them to the ground as she stares into their eyes.
- The Onryō's Inexorable Stare features her simply staring into the Survivors eyes and giving them a heart attack.
- The Onryō's Inexorable Stare is a reference to how she kills her victims in the films.
- The Onryō is the second Killer with a Mini-Mori ability.
