The appearence of a new sword was unveiled by the official twitter of upcoming game Touken Pocket. His name is Juzumaru Tsunetsugu (CV. Midorikawa Hikaru)

Juzumaru Tsunetsugu has his eyes shut, just like he's praying, and it's hard to read his thoughts.

Juzumaru Tsunetsugu is a Tachi (太刀) forged by Aoe Tsunetsugu, and is one of the Five Swords Under the Heaven (Tenka Goken, 天下五剣). His owner was Nichiren, a monk from the Kamakura Period and Juzumaru Tsunetsugu was used for self-defence. The name of the sword came about from the string of beads tied onto the sword. Currently the sword is kept in Honkou-ji and the sword is displayed once a year in November.
