-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiguelFerrer
The main villain of Season 4. He is the king of the Shadowkhan and lord of all Oni. He seeks to release his nine Oni Generals and their Shadowkhan armies to take over the world.
----
* AffablyEvil: The least strict boss to the Enforcers and isn't particularly malevolent - while he still wants to take over the world, he isn't a dick about it.
* ArcVillain: Tarakudo appears in the first and last episodes of the fourth season.
* AristocratsAreEvil: He styles himself as the "Lord of All Oni" and "King of the Shadowkhan".
%%* BeardOfEvil
* BadassGrandpa: He is an ancient and immortal demon after all.
* BadassMustache: His mustache is similar to those included to the classical samurai masks.
* BadBoss: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] when compared to the other {{Big Bad}}s of the series, though he has his moments when the Enforcers stretch his patience.
* BattleStrip: [[spoiler: When he regains his body, he prepares for battle... by ripping off his shirt.]]
* BenevolentBoss: This is the one of the biggest things that set him apart from the other villains. While the others have at best strained relationship with their associates, Tarakudo treats his underlings - human or Oni - more leniently, and his Generals are never shown plotting behind his back.
* BerserkButton: He becomes absolutely murderous once he finds out that the J-Team has obtained his mask.
* BigBad: Of Season 4, being the leader of the Oni and the Shadowkhan.
* BigNo: He yells this when [[spoiler:he's being sucked into his mask]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: When Tarakudo is hit with a spell that causes him to [[spoiler:have a body so that the tenth mask can be used to seal away him and the rest of the Oni]], it also removes his MindOverMatter powers. [[spoiler:Even without them, sticking the mask to his face proved the only way to stop him and his armies.]]
* TheChessmaster: He shows himself to be a long-term planner with his XanatosGambit example (see below) and the fact that he [[spoiler:hid the only known object that could be used to defeat him in a nearly inaccessible realm]].
* CombatPragmatist: When he turns out to be evenly matched in telekinesis with Eggbert the Noble Rooster, he uses a distraction to take the rooster out.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: When compared to the other main antagonists, Tarakudo is probably the wisest and the most sensible, given his more flexible way of thinking. His best example of this trope would be hiding [[spoiler:the mask made specifically to seal him]] in the Shadow Realm, a place no human can enter without using BlackMagic.
* DeadpanSnarker: He provides more humor than the other {{Big Bad}}s with his dry wit.
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: As a tattoo that Jade put on her leg. Not surprisingly it's a MarkOfTheBeast (see below).]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Helps that his voice is provided by Miguel Ferrer.
* EvilWearsBlack: [[spoiler: When he regains his physical body, he appears in a black gi with [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red patterns]].]]
* FlyingFace: For most of Season 4, Tarakudo is a floating head giving orders.
* IntangibleMan: Tarakudo is an Intangible Floating Demon Head. It makes him a very difficult enemy to fight, but also forces him to rely heavily on his minions. He still prefers it to having a real body, [[spoiler:since the only way he would get that is if someone found the mask that can [[SealedEvilInACan seal him away]].]]
* KickTheDog: After the Bat Khan mask is removed from Scruffy in "The Amazing T-Troop", he makes a telekinetic shot at Jade. Scruffy takes the shot and seems to die. Tarakudo merely says "Oops" and callously vanishes. [[spoiler:Good thing nothing happened to Scruffy.]]
* KungFuWizard: [[spoiler:After being forced into a physical body, Tarakudo drops the mental tricks and starts kicking ''Jackie's'' butt single-handedly.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: When some of the Oni Masks end up on the faces of more noble-minded people, Tarakudo accelerates their corruption by encouraging or tricking them to call upon their darkness within.
* MarkOfTheBeast: [[spoiler:If anyone gets a tattoo of Tarakudo's face, they will have demonic powers and become evil.]]
* MindOverMatter: Tarakudo has the power of levitation and telekinesis.
* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: "Bow before Tarakudo, king of all Shadowkhan, lord of all Oni."
* OutsideContextVillain: As the majority of the shows villain's were Chinese in origin, none of the heroes were prepared for a Japanese one to appear. Even Uncle had no idea who he was when he showed up.
* PungeonMaster: He makes puns more than his predecessor {{Big Bad}}s. In [[HalloweenEpisode "Fright Fight Night"]], after reproving Jackie's lack of a Halloween costume, he places a Jack-o'-lantern on his head, naming him "Jackie-o'-lantern". And in "Ninja Twilight", when he first meets Viper, he says that she's quite a catch before trapping her in a fishnet.
* RedOniBlueOni: Personality-wise, the collected Tarakudo is blue to the boisterous Ikazuki's red. It's ironic because, in literal terms, Tarakudo's and Ikazuki's faces are red and blue respectively.
* SealedEvilInACan: Tarakudo is accidentally released from imprisonment in another dimension by Daolon Wong. [[spoiler:In the end of the season, Tarakudo's own mask is placed on his face, which traps not only him, but also all the other Oni and Shadowkhan.]]
* ShirtlessScene: [[spoiler: After the above mentioned BattleStrip, he spends his final screentime shirtless.]]
* SingleStrokeBattle: [[spoiler: After he regains his body, he performs this on El Toro and Viper at the same time, in mid-air no less. No weapons are used, and no blood is spilled.]]
* SoreLoser: He admits being this before committing the above mentioned KickTheDog moment.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Unlike most of the supernatural foes shown, Tarakudo has amber eyes instead of red.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Twice during the show, Tarakudo asks Jade if she's going to reclaim her title as the Queen of the Shadowkhan. It's up to debate how serious he is about this, but it's hinted that [[VillainTakesAnInterest he'd want to be her mentor]].
* WeaksauceWeakness: As an Oni, Tarakudo's eyes are very sensitive to onions, and having it thrown in his face will make him retreat.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For the above mentioned reason, he freaks out anytime he sees an onion.
--> "[[OhCrap No!]] [[AnythingButThat Anything but onions!]]"
* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler:The Oni generals are released whenever all nine masks are assembled in one place. Since Tarakudo is the only one that knows this, whether he gets all the masks, or the J-Team does, he still wins.]]

9 Oni who served Tarakudo. Each of them has been trapped inside a mask. Any mortal who wears an Oni Mask will be possessed, and can summon a unique type of Shadowkhan.
[[folder:In General]]
* BaldOfEvil: Most of them don't have hair on their heads.
* BodyHorror: When a mask is worn, the user's face (and sometimes their whole body) will change to resemble that of the Oni possessing them.
* BodySnatcher: Once the mask's host uses their Shadowkhan, they begin to have equal control of the user's body, whether the user (namely Captain Black, Finn, Paco, Jade and Valmont) want them to or not.
* BrainFood: Apparently some, if not all of them, like to eat human brains.
* CastingAShadow: Summoning the Shadowkhan and spreading darkness are the main powers of the Oni Generals.
* DemonicPossession: When an Oni Mask is placed on the face of the user, they are still conscious of their actions, but are greatly influenced by the mask, and eventually it will completely take over. Finn was the only one who wasn't affected, because the Rat Talisman awakened Ikazuki, who was accidentally placed on his butt.
* {{Evil Mask}}s: The season's {{MacGuffin}}s are masks that can summon different breeds of Shadowkhan. That is the main reason the human villains want the masks in the first place.
* EvilWearsBlack: [[spoiler: After they are freed from their masks, they wear almost fully black uniforms.]]
* {{Flat Character}}s: Aside from Ikazuki, they don't get much characterization beyond vileness and loyal devotion to Tarakudo.
* {{Four Star Badass}}es: They all command vast Shadowkhan armies, and they fought personally before their imprisonment [[spoiler:and after their liberation]].
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:After they are released from their masks, a blast from the Dragon Talisman doesn't injure them.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: All of the Oni Generals are trapped within masks and by extension, the Shadowkhan they control. [[spoiler:Ultimately, all the Generals are sealed in the mask designed to imprison Tarakudo.]]
* SlasherSmile: Their pointy teeth cause them to make these.
* SummonMagic: Each Oni General commands a tribe of Shadowkhan and, as per usual, can summon them at will. Shendu commanded one tribe because he magically manipulated one of the masks.
* TheVoiceless: Excluding Ikazuki, they're never heard speaking.
* UndyingLoyalty: They all have this towards Tarakudo, as they're never shown plotting behind his back.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Onions can normally hurt them, unless an Oni Mask is attached to a human host.
* WildHair: Some of them have this, as you might expect from the reputedly wild Onis.

The only Oni General who is named. He is the second-in-command behind Tarakudo. He can summon Samurai Khan.
----
* ButtMonkey: Despite being the most powerful and the only named one of the Oni Generals, Ikazuki is often at the butt of all jokes. First by being revived without a body, then by literally being at Finn's butt for his debut episode, [[spoiler:and finally being "creamed" between Viper and El Toro's body slam]].
* TheDragon: In "The Demon Behind", Ikazuki is addressed as Tarakudo's second-in-command by Tohru. This comes into play in the fourth season finale, where Ikazuki orders the other Demon Generals to attack the Chans and remains with Tarakudo at Section 13 base during the Earth's invasion.
* TheDreaded: Ikazuki is feared as Tarakudo's most fearsome general. But it's played for laughs as he ends up the ButtMonkey in all appearances - in his first, literally.
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: He commands Samurai Khan. [[spoiler:When he is released from his mask, he wears a [[CoolHelmet samurai helmet]].]]
%%* EvilIsHammy

* {{Jerkass}}: He's respectful towards Tarakudo and presumably towards the other Generals, but towards everyone else he acts haughtily.
* KneelBeforeZod: He often orders people to bow before "his mighty form".
* RedOniBlueOni: Personality-wise, the boisterous Ikazuki is red to the collected Tarakudo's blue. It's ironic because, in literal terms, Tarakudo's and Ikazuki's faces are red and blue respectively.
* SealedEvilInACan: Like the other generals. [[spoiler:Is ultimately imprisoned within Tarakudo's mask, along with everyone else.]]
* TwoBeingsOneBody: The Rat Talisman is used on his mask to make him talk. Later he accidentally is stuck onto Finn's ''rear''.
* UndyingLoyalty: He refuses to reveal the Chans a way to defeat his master when they're interrogating him.

!!The Shadowkhan
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2012-03-21_at_1_40_45_pm_8608.png]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/85a5a827618ee33cdd4b221510ad2439.png]]
Demonic shadow spirits. They were introduced as {{ninja}}s who served Shendu, and briefly [[KidWithTheLeash Jade]]. In Season 4 we learn that their original masters were the Oni, and there are 9 different varieties of them.
[[folder:In General]]
* TheCorruption: To anyone who summons them who isn't already evil, and sometimes even then. It's the summoning that starts it, not the Oni Masks, as the corrupting only sets in once they are called upon. Though more noble-minded people can resist for a time, the Oni's influence will dominate the host eventually.
* DarkIsEvil: Quite literally, see LivingShadow.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: When they "die", they vaporize into black mist.
* EliteMooks: They are far more skilled and deadly than The Enforcers.
* EvilWearsBlack: They wear black clothes (or black skin).
* HumanoidAbomination: All but the Leech Khan and the Squid Khan, to varying degrees.
* LivingShadow: Shadowkhan are just that, shadows manifested into physical form.
* MookCarryover: Inverted. They are introduced as serving Shendu, but originally served Tarakudo, despite the latter not appearing until Season 4. Played straight with Shadow-Jade and to a lesser extent with anyone who put on a mask, though in both cases the summoner became BrainwashedAndCrazy. Daolon Wong ''tried'' to do this, but ended up freeing Tarakudo instead, though he had briefly controlled them in an earlier episode.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: They all wear ninja-like masks. We only get to see one Squid Khan's mask removed (and its face wasn't pretty). Presumably, all Shadowkhan are equally as horrifying underneath.
* MundaneUtility: Some people have used the Shadowkhan for something else than combat. For example:
** When Jade got control of the Ninja Shadowkhan in "Queen of the Shadowkhan", she used them as household servants.
** When Ratso got the Razor-Khan Oni Mask, he used his Shadowkhan to play baseball.
** Captain Black is a double subversion. When he got the Sumo-Khan Oni Mask, he decided to replace all the Section 13 agents with Shadowkhan, claiming that they were better than humans in every way. We see several shots of Shadowkhan typing on computers, checking folders, arresting people... and mopping the floor.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They come in many different shapes and sizes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Like the Demon Sorcerers, Shadowkhan all have glowing red eyes of some sort, except for the eyeless Leech Khan.
* ReplacementMooks: When Daolon Wong gets fed up with the Enforcers' incompetence in "Sheep In, Sheep Out", he replaces them with the Ninja Khan until he decides that they're not superior after all.
* SealedArmyInACan: The Shadowkhan are all bound to the Oni Masks, until someone wears a mask and summons them. [[spoiler:In the end, all the Shadowkhan are trapped inside Tarakudo's mask, along with the Oni.]]
* ShadowWalker: The Shadowkhan can use shadows as dimensional doors. They once travelled through the Shadow Realm in order to enter Jade's dream.
* SummonMagic: The Shadowkhan can be summoned anywhere there is ambient shadow.
* TheVoiceless: They never speak.

[[folder:Ninja Khan]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c64e90f3d566c1c6af2fe207d8a4cc0b.jpg]]
The most common kind of Shadowkhan, and the only type seen until Season 4. They have been summoned by Shendu and Daolon Wong (through sorcery), Jade and [[spoiler:Tohru]] (with the [[spoiler:Mark of Tarakudo]]), and Chow (with an Oni Mask).
----
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Whatever it's five or tens of them, they would take the same amount of effort to dispatch.
* FlechetteStorm: Sometimes they do this with their shuriken.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: Averted. While they usually face the heroes face-to-face, they are actually very good at being stealthy and unseen in spite of their numbers.
* HumanoidAbomination: They're the most human-like in appearance, besides the blue skin and red eyes.
* JackOfAllStats: When compared to the other Shadowkhan, they appear to be the most versatile.
* KnifeNut: They can summon various weapons, but they mostly use throwing stars.
* McNinja: Subverted. They initially seem like this, as ninjas are Japanese and Shendu is ''Chinese''. Eventually it's revealed that Shendu merely possessed the mask that grants control over them.
* {{Ninja}}: They run and [[InASingleBound jump around]], use martial arts, and throw shuriken.
* NotQuiteFlight: They have in their suits capes which they can use for gliding.
* SmokeOut: They sometimes disappear by using smoke bombs.
* WallCrawl: They're shown to be able to do this without any visible tools for that purpose.

These Shadowkhan attack with sharp blade-like claws. They are summoned by Ratso with an Oni Mask.
----

%%* AudibleSharpness
* FragileSpeedster: They seem to be the fastest type of Shadowkhan.
* KnifeNut: They have Freddy Krueger-like knife-gloved hands.
%%* MonstrousHumanoid
* NoodlePeople: While it's not exaggerated, their torso, head and limbs are thin. A special mention goes to their legs: they have pointed blades as their legs.
* WallCrawl: They can do this thanks to the blades their limbs consist of.

[[folder:Bat Khan]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/23dedf27f26c25deadeaf2222002c7be.png]]
Flying Shadowkhan. They are summoned by Scruffy the dog, who somehow got an Oni Mask on his face.
----
* AirborneMook: They are the only Shadowkhan type which can fly.
* BatOutOfHell: They have bat-like wings and their body resembles that of a bat.
* EnergyBall: They can create these from shadow energy.
* LeotardOfPower: That's the closest thing their outfits could be called.

[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fdb1c72484e1392ba2faf662e64bb08b.jpg]]
Large and strong Shadowkhan. They are summoned by Captain Black with an Oni Mask.
----
* BossInMookClothing: They're abnormally strong, and [[NoSell completely immune to normal attacks]]. The only way to defeat them is with the Talismans.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: Just a fillip is enough to send Hak Foo flying through a wall.
* GiantMook: The largest type of Shadowkhan, after a fully grown Leech Khan.
* HumanoidAbomination: They don't look much different from Tohru. But their necks are more crouched.
* MightyGlacier: As stated above, they're strong and resilient. But they move slowly, and only by traveling through shadows they can move quickly.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In the 4th season opening, one serves as the character who's punched by Jackie.
%%* SleevesAreForWimps

[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/edba2d02c098fa89d4898067b509159e.jpg]]
Ikazuki's henchmen, who are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. They are summoned by the reanimated Ikazuki Mask, while he was placed on Finn's butt.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Their shadow katanas.
* ArmorIsUseless: See the FakeUltimateMook below.
* CoolHelmet: That too comes from being a samurai.
%%* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai:
* FakeUltimateMook: They're big, heavily armored samurai that wield shadow swords able to cut through anything, yet in the end they're just as easily defeated as the Ninja-Khan (or even easier). The fact that they're [[ButtMonkey Ikazuki's]] Shadowkhan is a justification.
* GlassCannon: Turns out that despite their armor, they're not that difficult to dissipate.
%%* HeavilyArmoredMook
* HumanoidAbomination: Besides being quite tall and having red eyes and blue hands, they're quite human-looking.

[[folder:Squid Khan]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a92b6bf533bdc3bcfc03eaf8f99bece0.jpg]]
Slimy tentacled monsters who can "stretch like taffy". They are summoned by [[spoiler:Paco]] with an Oni Mask.
----
* CombatTentacles: Naturally, being squid monsters and all.
* EldritchAbomination: The Squid Khan are the only kind of Shadowkhan whose face we see, which turn out to be that of a hideous demonic-looking Cthulian monster.
* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods
* ExtraEyes: They have seven little round eyes.
* TentacleRope: Their squid tentacles can be used for restraint.
* TooManyMouths: They seem to have another mouth ''on top of their head''!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Crab Khan]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ef18101780a3300d520737562c7dfe17.png]]
They have large crab-like pincers in their right arms, and large scorpion-like stabbing claws in their left arms. They were temporarily split in half, because their Oni Mask was also split in half. They're summoned by Valmont and Jade with the two halves of the mask.
----
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Valmont and Jade each end up wearing half an Oni Mask, so when they summon their Crab Khan, they each end up getting the left and right halves of each mook. But Valmont's Shadowkhan retain the heads, while Jade's don't.
* HybridMonster: Like stated above, one of their arm has a crab-like pincers, and the other has a scorpion-like stabbing claw.
* LightningBruiser: When they are whole, they come off as strong, fast and durable.
%%* MonstrousHumanoid
%%* PowerPincers
* WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody: Played with. The left half-Shadowkhan (the ones who retained the heads) are able to fight somewhat effectively. The headless right half-Shadowkhan can barely get anything done.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/07668be0099d6145f31958bc6ec7c92b.jpg]]
They start out very small and pathetic, but they grow larger every time they eat a human's shadow (which incapacitates the victim). They are summoned by Hak Foo with an Oni Mask.
----
* AdorableEvilMinions: Really tiny Shadowkhan who look like plushies.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: The largest we see grows taller than most of the buildings of San Francisco.
* CastsNoShadow: When they have eaten a person's shadow, the victim literally casts no shadow, as seen with Tohru and Chow.
* EldritchAbomination: Along with the Squid Khan, they look very monstrous and unearthly compared to the other Shadowkhan.
* EyelessFace: They're the only Shadowkhan type that doesn't seem to have eyes.
* FourLeggedInsect: When they grow in size, they are revealed to have four legs. Try to imagine a leech with four legs at its lower body, and you have it.
* GiantMook: Eventually, they can grow really huge.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: They're not ninja warriors like the others, so they can't beat up enemies in a straight forward manner. However, they grow stronger with every shadow they consume.
* KillerRabbit: Because of how small they are, the Leech Khan are mistaken for harmless at first.
* MagikarpPower: The Leech Khan start off too weak to fight at all. If they manage to feed enough though, they can become the size of buildings.
* MiniMook: The Leech Khan start out very tiny.
* MiracleGroMonster: They grow by eating shadows of living creatures.
%%* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily:

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6434b1425390d4d1db9753ef1c6393ae.jpg]]
Four-legged creatures with blade-like arms. [[spoiler:Nobody gets to wear their Oni Mask, but they appear briefly after their Oni General is freed.]]
----
* AnimalisticAbomination: They resemble mantises after all.
%%* FourLeggedInsect
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: You might describe them as "mantis centaurs".
* SlayingMantis: Their blades resemble those a mantis would have.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Of all the Shadowkhan, they get the least amount of screen time, because [[spoiler:no one gets a chance to wear their general's mask before it's destroyed]].
[[/folder]]
----
The [[{{Youkai}} Oni]] are hideous horned demons from Japanese folklore. 10 of them (led by Tarakudo) commanded an army of [[LivingShadow Shadowkhan]], who are demonic shadow warriors.
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* BadassArmy: The Oni and Shadowkhan could possibly engulf the entire world in darkness (figuratively and [[TheNightThatNeverEnds literally]]).
* FangsAreEvil: The Oni have sharp teeth.
* HornedHumanoid: The Oni have small horns.
* KeystoneArmy: While generally efficient, the Shadowkhan are dependent on their masters' instructions. Other than the Oni, people can control them only as long as they're wearing an Oni Mask or having [[spoiler:Tarakudo's mark]]. [[spoiler:Imprisoning Tarakudo in his mask seals also his Generals and all the Shadowkhan.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: During the 4th season, when Tarakudo or the Oni are involved, you hear a quiet sinister tone.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:The Oni Generals are released [[NiceJobBreakingItHero by the heroes]] unknowingly doing the very thing that destroys their mask prisons -- by gathering them in one location. The Oni then [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs conquer Section 13]] and begin summoning enough Shadowkhan to cover the entire Earth in darkness. Tarakudo imprisons the J-Team and the Generals set out to spread the veil of darkness unopposed. The J-Team is able to stop and seal the Oni and the Shadowkhan away only after they accidentally discover the existence of the mask used for that purpose, and even then, getting the mask and placing it on Tarakudo's face is no easy feat.]]
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: The Oni are fearsome ogre-like demons from Japanese mythology. But the Shadowkhan on the other hand were created for the show.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Once all 9 Oni Generals are united, they collectively possess enough power to eventually cover the entire world in darkness. Presumably, if Tarakudo were not a floating head, he could do this all by himself.
* SealedArmyInACan: Tarakudo was reduced to being a floating head and imprisoned in another dimension, while all the Oni Generals and their respective Shadowkhan tribes were trapped inside the Oni Masks. After Daolon Wong accidentally released Tarakudo, the latter seeks to liberate the other Oni and Shadowkhan. [[spoiler:Eventually all the Oni and Shadowkhan are freed from their imprisonment, however all of them are trapped again inside a final Oni Mask placed on Tarakudo's face.]]
* TimeAbyss: Like the Demon Sorcerers, Tarakudo and his Generals are ancient, but their actual age is never stated. The fact that Shendu used one of the Oni Masks to summon the Shadowkhan, indicating they were defeated before he was turned into a statue, hints that the Oni might be even ''older'' than the Demon Sorcerers.
* {{Youkai}}: The Oni are a class of creatures from the folklore of Japan.

-->''I am the one and only King of the Shadowkhan!''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiguelFerrer
The main villain of Season 4. He is the king of the Shadowkhan and lord of all Oni. He seeks to release his nine Oni Generals and their Shadowkhan armies to take over the world.
----
* AffablyEvil: The least strict boss to the Enforcers and isn't particularly malevolent - while he still wants to take over the world, he isn't a dick about it.
* ArcVillain: Tarakudo appears in the first and last episodes of the fourth season.
* AristocratsAreEvil: He styles himself as the "Lord of All Oni" and "King of the Shadowkhan".
%%* BeardOfEvil
* BadassGrandpa: He is an ancient and immortal demon after all.
* BadassMustache: His mustache is similar to those included to the classical samurai masks.
* BadBoss: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] when compared to the other {{Big Bad}}s of the series, though he has his moments when the Enforcers stretch his patience.
* BattleStrip: [[spoiler: When he regains his body, he prepares for battle... by ripping off his shirt.]]
* BenevolentBoss: This is the one of the biggest things that set him apart from the other villains. While the others have at best strained relationship with their associates, Tarakudo treats his underlings - human or Oni - more leniently, and his Generals are never shown plotting behind his back.
* BerserkButton: He becomes absolutely murderous once he finds out that the J-Team has obtained his mask.
* BigBad: Of Season 4, being the leader of the Oni and the Shadowkhan.
* BigNo: He yells this when [[spoiler:he's being sucked into his mask]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: When Tarakudo is hit with a spell that causes him to [[spoiler:have a body so that the tenth mask can be used to seal away him and the rest of the Oni]], it also removes his MindOverMatter powers. [[spoiler:Even without them, sticking the mask to his face proved the only way to stop him and his armies.]]
* TheChessmaster: He shows himself to be a long-term planner with his XanatosGambit example (see below) and the fact that he [[spoiler:hid the only known object that could be used to defeat him in a nearly inaccessible realm]].
* CombatPragmatist: When he turns out to be evenly matched in telekinesis with Eggbert the Noble Rooster, he uses a distraction to take the rooster out.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: When compared to the other main antagonists, Tarakudo is probably the wisest and the most sensible, given his more flexible way of thinking. His best example of this trope would be hiding [[spoiler:the mask made specifically to seal him]] in the Shadow Realm, a place no human can enter without using BlackMagic.
* DeadpanSnarker: He provides more humor than the other {{Big Bad}}s with his dry wit.
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: As a tattoo that Jade put on her leg. Not surprisingly it's a MarkOfTheBeast (see below).]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Helps that his voice is provided by Miguel Ferrer.
* EvilWearsBlack: [[spoiler: When he regains his physical body, he appears in a black gi with [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red patterns]].]]
* FlyingFace: For most of Season 4, Tarakudo is a floating head giving orders.
* IntangibleMan: Tarakudo is an Intangible Floating Demon Head. It makes him a very difficult enemy to fight, but also forces him to rely heavily on his minions. He still prefers it to having a real body, [[spoiler:since the only way he would get that is if someone found the mask that can [[SealedEvilInACan seal him away]].]]
* KickTheDog: After the Bat Khan mask is removed from Scruffy in "The Amazing T-Troop", he makes a telekinetic shot at Jade. Scruffy takes the shot and seems to die. Tarakudo merely says "Oops" and callously vanishes. [[spoiler:Good thing nothing happened to Scruffy.]]
* KungFuWizard: [[spoiler:After being forced into a physical body, Tarakudo drops the mental tricks and starts kicking ''Jackie's'' butt single-handedly.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: When some of the Oni Masks end up on the faces of more noble-minded people, Tarakudo accelerates their corruption by encouraging or tricking them to call upon their darkness within.
* MarkOfTheBeast: [[spoiler:If anyone gets a tattoo of Tarakudo's face, they will have demonic powers and become evil.]]
* MindOverMatter: Tarakudo has the power of levitation and telekinesis.
* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: "Bow before Tarakudo, king of all Shadowkhan, lord of all Oni."
* OutsideContextVillain: As the majority of the shows villain's were Chinese in origin, none of the heroes were prepared for a Japanese one to appear. Even Uncle had no idea who he was when he showed up.
* PungeonMaster: He makes puns more than his predecessor {{Big Bad}}s. In [[HalloweenEpisode "Fright Fight Night"]], after reproving Jackie's lack of a Halloween costume, he places a Jack-o'-lantern on his head, naming him "Jackie-o'-lantern". And in "Ninja Twilight", when he first meets Viper, he says that she's quite a catch before trapping her in a fishnet.
* RedOniBlueOni: Personality-wise, the collected Tarakudo is blue to the boisterous Ikazuki's red. It's ironic because, in literal terms, Tarakudo's and Ikazuki's faces are red and blue respectively.
* SealedEvilInACan: Tarakudo is accidentally released from imprisonment in another dimension by Daolon Wong. [[spoiler:In the end of the season, Tarakudo's own mask is placed on his face, which traps not only him, but also all the other Oni and Shadowkhan.]]
* ShirtlessScene: [[spoiler: After the above mentioned BattleStrip, he spends his final screentime shirtless.]]
* SingleStrokeBattle: [[spoiler: After he regains his body, he performs this on El Toro and Viper at the same time, in mid-air no less. No weapons are used, and no blood is spilled.]]
* SoreLoser: He admits being this before committing the above mentioned KickTheDog moment.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Unlike most of the supernatural foes shown, Tarakudo has amber eyes instead of red.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Twice during the show, Tarakudo asks Jade if she's going to reclaim her title as the Queen of the Shadowkhan. It's up to debate how serious he is about this, but it's hinted that [[VillainTakesAnInterest he'd want to be her mentor]].
* WeaksauceWeakness: As an Oni, Tarakudo's eyes are very sensitive to onions, and having it thrown in his face will make him retreat.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For the above mentioned reason, he freaks out anytime he sees an onion.
--> "[[OhCrap No!]] [[AnythingButThat Anything but onions!]]"
* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler:The Oni generals are released whenever all nine masks are assembled in one place. Since Tarakudo is the only one that knows this, whether he gets all the masks, or the J-Team does, he still wins.]]

9 Oni who served Tarakudo. Each of them has been trapped inside a mask. Any mortal who wears an Oni Mask will be possessed, and can summon a unique type of Shadowkhan.
[[folder:In General]]
* BaldOfEvil: Most of them don't have hair on their heads.
* BodyHorror: When a mask is worn, the user's face (and sometimes their whole body) will change to resemble that of the Oni possessing them.
* BodySnatcher: Once the mask's host uses their Shadowkhan, they begin to have equal control of the user's body, whether the user (namely Captain Black, Finn, Paco, Jade and Valmont) want them to or not.
* BrainFood: Apparently some, if not all of them, like to eat human brains.
* CastingAShadow: Summoning the Shadowkhan and spreading darkness are the main powers of the Oni Generals.
* DemonicPossession: When an Oni Mask is placed on the face of the user, they are still conscious of their actions, but are greatly influenced by the mask, and eventually it will completely take over. Finn was the only one who wasn't affected, because the Rat Talisman awakened Ikazuki, who was accidentally placed on his butt.
* {{Evil Mask}}s: The season's {{MacGuffin}}s are masks that can summon different breeds of Shadowkhan. That is the main reason the human villains want the masks in the first place.
* EvilWearsBlack: [[spoiler: After they are freed from their masks, they wear almost fully black uniforms.]]
* {{Flat Character}}s: Aside from Ikazuki, they don't get much characterization beyond vileness and loyal devotion to Tarakudo.
* {{Four Star Badass}}es: They all command vast Shadowkhan armies, and they fought personally before their imprisonment [[spoiler:and after their liberation]].
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:After they are released from their masks, a blast from the Dragon Talisman doesn't injure them.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: All of the Oni Generals are trapped within masks and by extension, the Shadowkhan they control. [[spoiler:Ultimately, all the Generals are sealed in the mask designed to imprison Tarakudo.]]
* SlasherSmile: Their pointy teeth cause them to make these.
* SummonMagic: Each Oni General commands a tribe of Shadowkhan and, as per usual, can summon them at will. Shendu commanded one tribe because he magically manipulated one of the masks.
* TheVoiceless: Excluding Ikazuki, they're never heard speaking.
* UndyingLoyalty: They all have this towards Tarakudo, as they're never shown plotting behind his back.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Onions can normally hurt them, unless an Oni Mask is attached to a human host.
* WildHair: Some of them have this, as you might expect from the reputedly wild Onis.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MauriceLaMarche
The only Oni General who is named. He is the second-in-command behind Tarakudo. He can summon Samurai Khan.
----
* ButtMonkey: Despite being the most powerful and the only named one of the Oni Generals, Ikazuki is often at the butt of all jokes. First by being revived without a body, then by literally being at Finn's butt for his debut episode, [[spoiler:and finally being "creamed" between Viper and El Toro's body slam]].
* TheDragon: In "The Demon Behind", Ikazuki is addressed as Tarakudo's second-in-command by Tohru. This comes into play in the fourth season finale, where Ikazuki orders the other Demon Generals to attack the Chans and remains with Tarakudo at Section 13 base during the Earth's invasion.
* TheDreaded: Ikazuki is feared as Tarakudo's most fearsome general. But it's played for laughs as he ends up the ButtMonkey in all appearances - in his first, literally.
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: He commands Samurai Khan. [[spoiler:When he is released from his mask, he wears a [[CoolHelmet samurai helmet]].]]
%%* EvilIsHammy

* {{Jerkass}}: He's respectful towards Tarakudo and presumably towards the other Generals, but towards everyone else he acts haughtily.
* KneelBeforeZod: He often orders people to bow before "his mighty form".
* RedOniBlueOni: Personality-wise, the boisterous Ikazuki is red to the collected Tarakudo's blue. It's ironic because, in literal terms, Tarakudo's and Ikazuki's faces are red and blue respectively.
* SealedEvilInACan: Like the other generals. [[spoiler:Is ultimately imprisoned within Tarakudo's mask, along with everyone else.]]
* TwoBeingsOneBody: The Rat Talisman is used on his mask to make him talk. Later he accidentally is stuck onto Finn's ''rear''.
* UndyingLoyalty: He refuses to reveal the Chans a way to defeat his master when they're interrogating him.

Demonic shadow spirits. They were introduced as {{ninja}}s who served Shendu, and briefly [[KidWithTheLeash Jade]]. In Season 4 we learn that their original masters were the Oni, and there are 9 different varieties of them.
[[folder:In General]]
* TheCorruption: To anyone who summons them who isn't already evil, and sometimes even then. It's the summoning that starts it, not the Oni Masks, as the corrupting only sets in once they are called upon. Though more noble-minded people can resist for a time, the Oni's influence will dominate the host eventually.
* DarkIsEvil: Quite literally, see LivingShadow.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: When they "die", they vaporize into black mist.
* EliteMooks: They are far more skilled and deadly than The Enforcers.
* EvilWearsBlack: They wear black clothes (or black skin).
* HumanoidAbomination: All but the Leech Khan and the Squid Khan, to varying degrees.
* LivingShadow: Shadowkhan are just that, shadows manifested into physical form.
* MookCarryover: Inverted. They are introduced as serving Shendu, but originally served Tarakudo, despite the latter not appearing until Season 4. Played straight with Shadow-Jade and to a lesser extent with anyone who put on a mask, though in both cases the summoner became BrainwashedAndCrazy. Daolon Wong ''tried'' to do this, but ended up freeing Tarakudo instead, though he had briefly controlled them in an earlier episode.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: They all wear ninja-like masks. We only get to see one Squid Khan's mask removed (and its face wasn't pretty). Presumably, all Shadowkhan are equally as horrifying underneath.
* MundaneUtility: Some people have used the Shadowkhan for something else than combat. For example:
** When Jade got control of the Ninja Shadowkhan in "Queen of the Shadowkhan", she used them as household servants.
** When Ratso got the Razor-Khan Oni Mask, he used his Shadowkhan to play baseball.
** Captain Black is a double subversion. When he got the Sumo-Khan Oni Mask, he decided to replace all the Section 13 agents with Shadowkhan, claiming that they were better than humans in every way. We see several shots of Shadowkhan typing on computers, checking folders, arresting people... and mopping the floor.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They come in many different shapes and sizes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Like the Demon Sorcerers, Shadowkhan all have glowing red eyes of some sort, except for the eyeless Leech Khan.
* ReplacementMooks: When Daolon Wong gets fed up with the Enforcers' incompetence in "Sheep In, Sheep Out", he replaces them with the Ninja Khan until he decides that they're not superior after all.
* SealedArmyInACan: The Shadowkhan are all bound to the Oni Masks, until someone wears a mask and summons them. [[spoiler:In the end, all the Shadowkhan are trapped inside Tarakudo's mask, along with the Oni.]]
* ShadowWalker: The Shadowkhan can use shadows as dimensional doors. They once travelled through the Shadow Realm in order to enter Jade's dream.
* SummonMagic: The Shadowkhan can be summoned anywhere there is ambient shadow.
* TheVoiceless: They never speak.

[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c64e90f3d566c1c6af2fe207d8a4cc0b.jpg]]
The most common kind of Shadowkhan, and the only type seen until Season 4. They have been summoned by Shendu and Daolon Wong (through sorcery), Jade and [[spoiler:Tohru]] (with the [[spoiler:Mark of Tarakudo]]), and Chow (with an Oni Mask).
----
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Whatever it's five or tens of them, they would take the same amount of effort to dispatch.
* FlechetteStorm: Sometimes they do this with their shuriken.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: Averted. While they usually face the heroes face-to-face, they are actually very good at being stealthy and unseen in spite of their numbers.
* HumanoidAbomination: They're the most human-like in appearance, besides the blue skin and red eyes.
* JackOfAllStats: When compared to the other Shadowkhan, they appear to be the most versatile.
* KnifeNut: They can summon various weapons, but they mostly use throwing stars.
* McNinja: Subverted. They initially seem like this, as ninjas are Japanese and Shendu is ''Chinese''. Eventually it's revealed that Shendu merely possessed the mask that grants control over them.
* {{Ninja}}: They run and [[InASingleBound jump around]], use martial arts, and throw shuriken.
* NotQuiteFlight: They have in their suits capes which they can use for gliding.
* SmokeOut: They sometimes disappear by using smoke bombs.
* WallCrawl: They're shown to be able to do this without any visible tools for that purpose.

[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fdb1c72484e1392ba2faf662e64bb08b.jpg]]
Large and strong Shadowkhan. They are summoned by Captain Black with an Oni Mask.
----
* BossInMookClothing: They're abnormally strong, and [[NoSell completely immune to normal attacks]]. The only way to defeat them is with the Talismans.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: Just a fillip is enough to send Hak Foo flying through a wall.
* GiantMook: The largest type of Shadowkhan, after a fully grown Leech Khan.
* HumanoidAbomination: They don't look much different from Tohru. But their necks are more crouched.
* MightyGlacier: As stated above, they're strong and resilient. But they move slowly, and only by traveling through shadows they can move quickly.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In the 4th season opening, one serves as the character who's punched by Jackie.
%%* SleevesAreForWimps
* SuperStrength: The Ox Talisman is needed to match them.

[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/edba2d02c098fa89d4898067b509159e.jpg]]
Ikazuki's henchmen, who are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. They are summoned by the reanimated Ikazuki Mask, while he was placed on Finn's butt.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Their shadow katanas.
* ArmorIsUseless: See the FakeUltimateMook below.
* CoolHelmet: That too comes from being a samurai.
%%* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai:
* FakeUltimateMook: They're big, heavily armored samurai that wield shadow swords able to cut through anything, yet in the end they're just as easily defeated as the Ninja-Khan (or even easier). The fact that they're [[ButtMonkey Ikazuki's]] Shadowkhan is a justification.
* GlassCannon: Turns out that despite their armor, they're not that difficult to dissipate.
%%* HeavilyArmoredMook
* HumanoidAbomination: Besides being quite tall and having red eyes and blue hands, they're quite human-looking.

[[folder:Squid Khan]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a92b6bf533bdc3bcfc03eaf8f99bece0.jpg]]
Slimy tentacled monsters who can "stretch like taffy". They are summoned by [[spoiler:Paco]] with an Oni Mask.
----
* CombatTentacles: Naturally, being squid monsters and all.
* EldritchAbomination: The Squid Khan are the only kind of Shadowkhan whose face we see, which turn out to be that of a hideous demonic-looking Cthulian monster.
* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods
* ExtraEyes: They have seven little round eyes.
* TentacleRope: Their squid tentacles can be used for restraint.
* TooManyMouths: They seem to have another mouth ''on top of their head''!

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ef18101780a3300d520737562c7dfe17.png]]
They have large crab-like pincers in their right arms, and large scorpion-like stabbing claws in their left arms. They were temporarily split in half, because their Oni Mask was also split in half. They're summoned by Valmont and Jade with the two halves of the mask.
----
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Valmont and Jade each end up wearing half an Oni Mask, so when they summon their Crab Khan, they each end up getting the left and right halves of each mook. But Valmont's Shadowkhan retain the heads, while Jade's don't.
* HybridMonster: Like stated above, one of their arm has a crab-like pincers, and the other has a scorpion-like stabbing claw.
* LightningBruiser: When they are whole, they come off as strong, fast and durable.
%%* MonstrousHumanoid
%%* PowerPincers
* WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody: Played with. The left half-Shadowkhan (the ones who retained the heads) are able to fight somewhat effectively. The headless right half-Shadowkhan can barely get anything done.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/07668be0099d6145f31958bc6ec7c92b.jpg]]
They start out very small and pathetic, but they grow larger every time they eat a human's shadow (which incapacitates the victim). They are summoned by Hak Foo with an Oni Mask.
----
* AdorableEvilMinions: Really tiny Shadowkhan who look like plushies.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: The largest we see grows taller than most of the buildings of San Francisco.
* CastsNoShadow: When they have eaten a person's shadow, the victim literally casts no shadow, as seen with Tohru and Chow.
* EldritchAbomination: Along with the Squid Khan, they look very monstrous and unearthly compared to the other Shadowkhan.
* EyelessFace: They're the only Shadowkhan type that doesn't seem to have eyes.
* FourLeggedInsect: When they grow in size, they are revealed to have four legs. Try to imagine a leech with four legs at its lower body, and you have it.
* GiantMook: Eventually, they can grow really huge.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: They're not ninja warriors like the others, so they can't beat up enemies in a straight forward manner. However, they grow stronger with every shadow they consume.
* KillerRabbit: Because of how small they are, the Leech Khan are mistaken for harmless at first.
* MagikarpPower: The Leech Khan start off too weak to fight at all. If they manage to feed enough though, they can become the size of buildings.
* MiniMook: The Leech Khan start out very tiny.
* MiracleGroMonster: They grow by eating shadows of living creatures.
%%* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily:

%%* FourLeggedInsect
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: You might describe them as "mantis centaurs".
* SlayingMantis: Their blades resemble those a mantis would have.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Of all the Shadowkhan, they get the least amount of screen time, because [[spoiler:no one gets a chance to wear their general's mask before it's destroyed]].
