I think they are distantly related, like Kasen and Izuminokami does (with Kasen being the second generation of Kanesada and Izuminokami being the last generation).

Nikkari belongs to the early generation of the Aoe school (Ko-Aoe) and assuming both Taroutachi and Jiroutachi was forged by Sueno Aoe, they belong to the late generation of Aoe school (Sue-Aoe), there aren't many literature about them though, so I might be wrong about this...

That reminds me, if both Taroutachi and Jiroutachi was forged by the same smith--why are their smith's name different from each other? In this page Taroutachi was forged by Sueno Aoe (末之青江) but in Jiroutachi's page it was stated that he was forged by Chiyodzuru Kuniyasu (千代鶴國安)---which is a different school from Aoe, so which one is the correct one?
