There are many legends for Higekiri and Hizamaru's birth, one of them is that Mofusa & Munechika version in which they were made from the same iron that was cut into two. Another tale tells they were made by a swordsmith who prayed to Hachiman Daibosatsu.

In Kyoto National Museum (as well as Japanese Record of Important Cultural Properties) Higekiri is listed under the Mei of Yasutsuna. And so we go by that.
