Mount Ooe's Guardian, Ooenomiya ja. I live in retirement on Nishiki's outskirts. I used to help out the Nishiki army here and there, but I never expected to be helping out the Allied Army... Well, you should be more concerned about my disciples that joined with you rather than myself. I'm more like their protector.

Trivia
- Ooenomiya's birthday is the opening date of Ōeyamaguchi-naiku Station in 1988.
- Ooenomiya's mistaken identity as a demon (oni) is themed after Mount Ooe, famous for the Shuten-dōji (酒呑童子) mythos, the mythical oni or demon leader of Japan.
- Ooenomiya in present times serves as the caretaker of the Ooe Big Four (大江山四天王) - the second generation elite train knights of Nishiki. This also references her place as Shuten-dōji and his Four Heavenly Kings (四天王). Her disciples are Amanohashidate, Karakawa, Futamata, and Shimoamazu. All members of the Ooe Big Four have their counterpart train stations on the Kyoto Tantetsu Railway Miyafuku Line.
- Ooenomiya was one of the members of the original Ooe Big Four, alongside Shimoamazu I, Karakawa I, and Futamata I.
- Ooenomiya's metal detection ability references real life Mount Ōe's abundant metal veins, which it was mined for nickel, used for the production of weapons from 1933 to the end of the Pacific War.
- The eight spheres showcased in [Party Starter]'s Kishin Hassou special skill and the illustration of [Moriki Under the Moonlight] are the eight traits to determine a person's character in the pseudoscience of Chinese/Japanese Physiognomy (观相学/観相学, guānxiàng xué/kansōgaku), which are mightiness (威), generousness (厚), delicateness (清), strangeness (古), loneliness (孤), weakness (薄), stubbornness (悪), and vulgarness (俗).
- [Party Starter] ironically features edamame and adzuki beans as Ooenomiya's dishes - beans are known in Japanese mythology as an oni's weakness.
- The building in the background of [Party Starter]'s Special Skill resembles the Moto Ise Naiku Kotai Shrine.

Ōeyamaguchi-naiku Station (大江山口内宮駅) is a passenger railway station in located in the city of Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway company Willer Trains (Kyoto Tango Railway).
Ōeyamaguchi-naiku station was opened on July 16, 1988 and is classified as a halt. The halt is under the ownership of Willer Trains as part of the Kyoto Tantetsu Railway Miyafuku Line since April 1, 2015. The station consists of one group level island platform, connected to the road by a level crossing. The station is unattended. There is no station building except for a shelter on the platform.
The station is formerly named "Moto Ise-naiku Station" (元伊勢内宮駅) by the Fukuchiyama City Railway Promotion Council. It is derived from the fact that the Imperial Grand Shrine (Moto Ise Naiku, which is also the origin of the station name) is near the station.
As the train station platform is curved in nature, trains that do not stop on this station are limited to 85km/h. The train line is electrified on platform 1 as the upper and lower main lines, and trains pass through the platform 1 in both directions. For trains that stop on this station, both platforms are used as per direction of travel. A restroom with a multipurpose restroom is in front of the tourist center near this station. Wikipedia
Located at the base of the Tango Peninsula in Kyoto Prefecture, Ōeyama (大江山) mountain range extends over Yosano-cho, Fukuchiyama and Miyazu. The highest peak, Senjogatake (千丈ヶ嶽) has an elevation of 832.5 meters. The range is also called Yosa-no-oyama (与謝大山) and is the most known for the legend of Shuten-dōji. It is also known for the sea of clouds that is visible from points of high elevation. On August 3, 2007, the mountain range was designated as a Quasi-National Park under the name Tango-Amanohashidate-Ōeyama Quasi-National Park.
There are three legends of oni extermination in Ōeyama. One of the legends in the Kojiki holds that Emperor Sujin's brother Hikoimasuno-miko exterminated Kugumimi-no-Mikasa, a tsuchigumo. The second legend is that Prince Shotoku's younger brother, Imperial Prince Maroko defeated three ogres named Ekiko (英胡), Karuashi (軽足) and Tsuchiguma (土熊を), and the third is the famous legend about Shuten-dōji. Most believe that 'Ōeyama' where Shuten-dōji resided has been a mountain along the Ōeyama range in Tango, but some say it might have been a mountain along the San'indō on the border between Yamashiro Province and Tanba Provinces in Nishikyō-ku, Kyoto.
The Japan Ogre Exchange Museum (日本の鬼の交流博物館) was built on the site of an abandoned copper mine at the foot of Ōeyama in 1993. The Tango region where the mountain range is located had close contacts with the Asian continent from ancient times, and immigrants were engaged in metal work; with their advanced technique in metal refining, and having accumulated a large fortune, those who recognized this in the capital sent an army to pillage the wealth, and rule the region. One theory holds that people created the tsuchigumo (spider limbed monster) and oni extermination legends from these incidents in order to justify and glorify themselves; at the same time, some propose that immigrants were in fact called ogres because they gathered to become thieves and terrorized the region.
