Judging how Ima n Iwa did not real (fact in game), how Tomoegata could exist, and how some 'brother' did not under any Family name, '''the School/Family label might not 100% true at all. '''The sword warrior might not always a reliable narrator too.

My bet is Kogitsunemaru has the highest probability as Mikazuki's brother, because his origin clearly stated about Sanjou. Kogitsunemaru also has probability exist (it's recorded as one of the Fujiwara clan treasures, own by the Kujou), unlike Ima or Iwa. BUT, assuming the adaptation (except anthologies since I think each one-shot is based on contributor's interpretation) following NItro guidelines like how they called each other, how Kogitsunemaru calls Mikazuki as 'Mikazuki-dono' is the problem.

At first I think that because Mikazuki is Tenka Goken, just like how he address Juzumaru as 'Juzumaru-dono', but turns out Mikazuki also got called 'Mikazuki-san' or only 'Mikazuki'. Why Kogitsunemaru use honorific pronouns if he is his brother? (I really wanr Kogi address Mika as 'Ani ue'!!)

So, if the Sanjou see themselves as brothers? I think they're not :(

They might not realized they're put under Sanjou label too! Maybe it's the Saniwa, whom limited knowledge believe Ima and Iwa are smithed by Sanjou and categorized them as one.
