Why are there so few characters in japanese videogames utilizing Hannaya Masks?

Why are there so few characters in japanese videogames utilizing Hannaya Masks?

We already have this one

HANNAYA MAN!

Too bad it sucked.

I meant more in actually using the mask to masquerade their face. I tried so long to get the Ogress Mask in Nioh just so I could Yubei from Yagyu Jubei Ninpocho.

Because this is someone's culture and not just some fantasy setting.

Just kidding, it would be pretty fucking cool.

What makes a hannaya mask different from any other mask?

Noh masks when seen from different angles/lighting can show different expressions. The hannya mask simulates the feeling of anger/madness but also sorrow and sadness.

Cool. All this time I just thought it was some folklore demon.

Kunimitsu and Yoshimitsu from Tekken used to wear them

Until they became a Fox and a Squid

It's not vogue, I guess?

Tell me about Yoshimitsu why does he wear the mask(s)?

Nioh says hi.

with how obscure Noh theater is even in japan you should be glad any games are utilizing it.

Tengu mask is patricians choice
Fuck you I am not finding a good example

>tfw no Teppu licensed MMA geimu

Ogress in Nioh

>why does he wear the mask

Most people know how Noh masks look like, you dont really need to know Noh theater to understand how they work or what they are.

Mister Karate.

Hannyaman was a cool side boss character
I hope we get like a rematch against him in Kiwami 2, especially during Majima's arc

>noh mercy in tf2
it's homogenized, but hey, it's there

There are many actually, but usually it's just part of one armor set that you not take long to change as you progress trhough the game, or decoration in some stage.

Super Sonico date rape simulator has her manager wearing one.

a lot of the guards in tenchu 2 wear masks, including crow helmets and those red pointy nose demon ones.

>YOU DARE ENTER MY DOMINION, MORTAL? YOU WILL PER-

>w-wha-h-hold on j-just a moment...

I was about to post her

I really like her but that mask is so ugly. Couldn't she have worn something less... unsettling? Like mask in that pic, still looks cool but doesn't ruin your boner every time you look at her
