What troops are you using? I have been training Shinano with Iwatooshi and a kiwame tantou (to lower their average level) at worlds 3 and 4. He is level 35 now and can do world 4-4 all the way (except boss mode, I don't want to spawn kbc there) without losing any troops. I equip him with a gold shield. His team mates are able to take out all the enemies in 1 round, so he only needs to defend against the long range attacks.

Do also remember to check that you've maxed their stats, both before and after toku.

When I first trained my tantous for world 6, there weren't many events yet. I team them up with other sword types and send them to worlds 4 and below. I don't recall losing many troops. Max their defence with gold shields. Once in a while, they might still lose something but from what I observe, swords only lose troops excessively when they're on a map that's a bit too advanced. So when you put them on a new map, watch them for a couple of rounds and see how they do. If they don't lose beyond 3 troops in 1 battle, they should do ok for the rest of the map.
