I also think it's better to go with the sword you like most first, whether it's in terms of personal preference or their stats or design. Your first kiwame will likely end up as your strongest like above comment has said. In my opinion, the next ones to consider should have stats that complement your first. If the first one has low leadership for example, choose someone who can balance that out, and then continue to weigh what stats your first kiwames have/are lacking in and what the next ones can help make up for. Of course, you don't necessarily have to follow this either, it's just somewhere to start thinking if you're unsure. Maybe you prefer a hard hitting team with high impact stats or a fast one or a defense-focused one, whatever works for you.

And it's okay if you can't kiwame Ima or would prefer to use other tantous. I don't have him kiwame'd either and my team can handle world 7 well enough. If I had to say who is most exceptional, it would be Atsushi but that's probably because he's the highest leveled and I have all his stats fully maxed - basically I find that what sword is considered "best" will vary by player (and their experience and RNG to some extent).
