Kami: The white katana. When drawn it produces the most beautiful note, before its ability activates. Because of its beauty it refuses to dirty its blade with things of the physical realm.
Oni: The black nodachi. It produces a screeching wail when drawn as it cries for blood. Once drawn it must taste blood before it is able to be sheathed. If it takes too long to get its meal it will begin to cut the owner.Known For: Being the most powerful of the Ken wa Kami, he is known world wide for his ability and his Sword. He is the most elegant and composed of the group, and many women have been known to fall for him.

His Sword is one of the most powerful in existence, however he is more than capable of fighting at near legendary status with a normal katana or even weaponless.
