At anon above me (and OP):

Judging from the way Kiyomitsu and Yasusada talk to each other (the vocabulary and verb forms used), they're being affectionately informal with each other instead of formal, which makes sense based on their relationship. Same for Kane-san who calls Horikawa by Kunihiro, you wouldn't say he's being formal, would you? I haven't looked into it so I'm not sure how swords are named, but judging by the feeling I get from the dialogues and also the Japanese fandom, Kiyomitsu is used in the same way as a first name.


 * ANIME SPOILERS*

In episode 5, Kiyomitsu calls Jiji whom he just met by Mikazuki, which would be horribly impolite if you assume that all sword names follow western order and Mikazuki is his given name.
