Personality[]
Onigiri appears to be somewhat mute, mainly being silent and expressing themself through silly faces and gestures.

They also like compliments, seeming flustered at them.
Onigiri is implied to have an strange appetite, since they have eaten unusual objects such as a shard of glass.

Onigiri's audition is them getting hit in the face with a cannonball, similar to Eggy's audition in BFDI 17. They later are seen with it removed in Snare Drum's audition, when the cannonball falls off their face and onto Snare Drum.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Onigiri is with their fellow eligible debuters on the ground when Two flies up to the top of the Bathrooms. Due to being high up, the contestants cannot hear Two's calls to do Cake at Stake. After Nickel fails to hear their calls, Two uses their telekinesis to bring the contestants and the eligible debuters up.
They are announced to have failed at joining along with Blender and Camera, and is for some reason holding a lens cap in their mouth. Blender pulls it out to place on Camera before they're all sent falling through the floor.
in "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Onigiri is seen climbing Bell's string to get out of the hotel but was presumably glued to the bathroom roof by Robot Flower for the challenge.
in "Outbreak At Stake", Onigiri is seen infected, chasing after The Strongest Team on Earth. They help tear apart Snowball with Rubber Spatula and continue chasing the team. Eventually, Onigiri and Rubber Spatula go after Death P.A.C.T. Again on sight. Black Hole attempts to stop them and Rubber Spatula using Cloudy's collection, but they swim right underneath. Black Hole then throws the stack of items down as a large pile, so they start to climb over it to get up to Tree. However, they are flung away by Snowball, and aren't seen again for the rest of the episode.
in "Last One Standing" Onigiri is killed by Liy before the Liy vs. the Debuters fight occurs.
In "Kebab's Special Day", Onigiri is seen as the new janitor of the hotel; They help Clapboard and Tape retrieve Clapboard's sandwich, before promptly eating it.
