Ogma (オグマ, Oguma?) was the former owner and boss of the Horns Conglomerate, and a secondary character in Beastars.
Appearance
Ogma was a middle-aged red deer with magnificent curling antlers. He wore standard square-framed glasses with an emerald green suit under a cedar brown, collared shirt with a dark gray tie, and brown shoes.
Personality
His enigmatic personality was shown multiple times as he often bought Louis expensive items depending on whether he was disappointed or proud.
Equipment
- Taser prod: Ogma had a taser to ward off intruders in his residence. When he had heard a scream from his son, he went to his room with the taser, but Louis was actually fine and had just felt a pain from his right leg.

Trivia
- He bought Louis from the Black Market for ¥7,000,000 (seven-million yen) with the intention of making him the successor to the Horns Conglomerate.
- "Oguma" (小熊 in kanji) means a small bear. It can also refer to Oguma (小隈 in kanji), an area in the city of Asakura, in the prefecture of Fukushima.
- Ogma is named after the Gaelic god of speech, language, eloquence and learning.
- Most illustrations of the Gaelic Ogma have him wearing a lion's pelt do to the Romans having conflated the god with Hercules. This makes the Beastars character's name even more coincidental to the fact that Louis came to view both Ogma and Ibuki, a lion, as his fathers. Subsequently, Louis himself realized that both men wore glasses.
- During Louis' childhood, Ogma bought an expensive 500,000-yen bicycle for failing to achieve a perfect score on a test.
- He's privately known to be sterile, and is unable to have children of his own, leading him to adopt Louis in the first place.
