From all the fanart and the scene in the OP I assumed that he was a brother as well as this time but according to this episode he isn't? This has been eating at the back of my head this week. Nakigitsune is an Awataguchi sword (hence why his uniform is very similar to the others). But he was not made by Yoshimitsu like the Toushirou brothers. Nakigitsune's swordsmith was Kuniyoshi, Yoshimitsu's father. So, you can say he is like an uncle or cousin.
