Late reply, but if you still haven't managed to get Kogitsunemaru yet I hope this information helps. Anyway, unfortunately he has a very low drop rate at 5-3 at an estimated 0.36%, which when combined with the extremely annoying tendency for the dice to roll south instead of east means it is likely an even lower percentage overall. Still, if you're persistent and you keep trying eventually you should be able to get him as long as you manage to reach the boss node and have a party level average below 88 (a requirement that is very easy to maintain if you have a few low level kiwame swords to include in your team).

Despite the low chance, I'd say it's still better to farm the map for him instead of wasting all of your resources trying to smith him considering the chances of getting him from smithing are pretty bad (worse than Mikazuki in fact). I would recommend attempting to smith for him only 1-3 times a day at most due to the expensive cost of using tachi recipes, which will very quickly deplete your resources if you go overboard.
