Mikazuki Munechika || Touken Ranbu

A tachi (long sword) crafted by Sanjo Munechika, a swordsmith of the Heian Era, reputed to be the most beautiful of the Tenga Goken ("five great swords"). His eyes reflect a crescent moon (mikazuki) pattern which also appears on his blade due to the way he was tempered. He has the grace of a Heian aristocrat, and though he may appear to be quite mature, he is actually rather laid-back.

Appearance: Mikazuki is an older but still youthful-looking tall male with short, dark blue hair, pale blue eyes, and light skin.

When out on missions, he wears his standard combat outfit that consists of a dark blue kimono with long sleeves, gray hakama trousers, white socks, and light gold sandals. In his hair he has a thin black headband that is decorated with gold leaves and a hanging gold tassel. Over his kimono he wears a red obi, as well as light hanging armor decorated in gold and used to protect his vital areas. He wears black gloves and a white underlayer kimono, and gold decorated tassels hang from the ends of his blue kimono. He carries his sword on his left hip.

When not in battle and residing in Hanamaru, Mikazuki wears more casual clothing. He has a yellow bandana tied around his head, a long sleeve white turtleneck, and long white pants. He wears a dark blue short kimono above his turtleneck, and dark blue pants over his white pants that reach his knees. On his feet he wears casual brown sandals.

Background: He was created in 989 CE by the legendary smith Sanjou Munechika, who is said to have lived on Sanjo Avenue in Kyoto during the Eien era. There are many gaps in his history until he was captured by Kengo Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, in the game's historical timeline, who claimed him as his favorite tachi and fought his final battle with him. Mikazuki was claimed from his dead body by the Miyoshi family and later presented as a gift to Koda-in by her husband, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Following Koda-in's death, Mikazuki was presented to Tokugawa Hidetada and passed down through the Tokugawa family until modern times, when he was donated to the Tokyo National Museum and designated as a national treasure.

Mikazuki Munechika is also regarded as one of Tenka Goken, or Five Great Swords of Japan, alongside Doujigiri Yatsutsuna, Onimaru Kunitsuna, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, and Oodenta Mitsuyo. He is said to be the most beautiful of the five swords and was given that title during the Muromachi period.

Personality: Despite his graceful appearance and mannerisms, Mikazuki is a laid-back character who is notorious for being lazy around the citadel, which is often a source of complaint from the other Touken Danshi. He also makes frequent references to being an old man due to being over 1000 years old, making him Honmaru's oldest Touken Danshi. The other characters tend to view him the same way, as a result appear to let him off the hook more easily for his misdeeds, such as his laziness and food stealing, than other Touken Danshi such as Tsurumaru, who acts more youthful despite their closeness in age.

While he can be mischievous and a slacker who prefers sleeping and drinking tea to fulfilling his duties, Mikazuki is a wise, gentle, and insightful figure in Honmaru when he gets serious, and the one the other Touken Danshi defer to and trust in the opinions of when making big decisions, as well as the one they entrust with unraveling the story's biggest mysteries.

Like most of the Touken Danshi, Mikazuki also has a sentimental attachment to their Saniwa, and is frequently seen with a music box that is meant to represent them and their "melody."

Lastly, as one of the Tenga Goken, he is also quite powerful, and as such was assigned to be the leader of the First Team by the Saniwa.
