Okina appears as a Samurai-like warrior who wears a white samurai armor. His face is completely hidden behind a wooden mask which depicts an angry elderly man with white disheveled hair baring his teeth.

A great swordsman who was born in the Land of Reeds. Because of the wooden mask he wears, this earned him the nickname"Old Man". He is the leader of several disciples who are part of a group of combatants called the White Reeds, who seek proper deaths that are honorably won through hard-fought combat. Okina is also the master of his head disciples the Inaba.

Okina sharpened his mind as time passed and came to the stark belief of the absurdities of the world. Renouncing it all, he would ascend to a higher plane, abandoning the Inaba in the process. There is only himself, his sword, and its mastery. This led him to the demigod Mohg, Lord of Blood. Feeling the warrior's sword and madness on his flesh, Mohg decided to give Okina a proposal: he would give him the life of a demon, whose thirst could never be unsated. Okina accepted this and before long he became a demonic swordsman, where he wields an wakizashi on his left hand and a full-sized cursed katana on his right hand.

Okina was summoned by the tarnished amidst the festivities, that mad demi god Radahn, if anyone was going to slay that mad general, it would be him.

"Hoh!." Okina grunted as he ran across the battlefield, filled with remains of the remains of the soldiers of Malenia and Radahn.
