Touken Ranbu: Tsurumaru Kuninaga 02

Tsurumaru’s name uses the kanji “鶴” which could also mean “crane”. The crane is said to be a symbol of fortune and longevity in Japan, but Tsurumaru historically brought ruin to his chain of masters. Nevertheless, he is still the best preserved blade from the Heian perios despite his turbulent history.

Touken Ranbu: Shokudaikiri Mitsutada

I’m Shokudaikiri Mitsutada. I’m a katana that was once used by Lord Date Masamune.

I don’t harbor any bad feelings towards Lord Masamune, but my name comes from a time when I killed someone and happened to cut a candlestick that was nearby at the same time... Although it really was a bronze candlestick holder, it would’ve been cooler if it had been something a bit more durable.

Touken Ranbu: Tsurumaru Kuninaga

I’m Tsurumaru Kuninaga. Made in the Heian era, I’ve been passed from owner to owner up until now. Well, that shows just how renowned I am.

...Though, I can't approve of grave-robbing or stealing from shrines out of desire for me...

Touken Ranbu: Mikazuki Munechika 02

俺の名は三日月宗近。まあ、天下五剣の一つにして、一番美しいともいうな。

I was born near the end of the 11th century. I guess you can say I'm an old man. Hahaha!

Touken Ranbu: Heshikiri Hasebe

Heshikiri Hasebe. .... Weird name, isn't it? My previous lord, you see, could not forgive the mistake of his tea servant, and I was thus named when he executed the hiding servant with only the weight of the blade... He's that kind of man. Oda Nobunaga, that is.

This game is seriously getting a lot of amazing cosplays… so much that I’m beginning to take interest in playing the game myself, even if I can’t understand it.

Touken Ranbu: Mikazuki Munechika

Mikazuki Munechika is a character based on one of the tenka goken, a group of Japanese swords famous for their history or beauty. The katana was created near the end of the 11th century by Sanjo Munechika, who lived during the mid-Heian period. Mikazuki is the representative of the Sanjo signature, as its unique crescent moon pattern makes it the most beautiful of the five swords.

An online, web browser game based on infamous swords? Japan sure is creative in making sure the younger generation learn about its rich history! And beautiful Japanese cosplayers like Reika also help preserve Japanese culture, wouldn’t you agree?
