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. Interesting, so what do the brothers treat him as ingame? Not that much of info as we know that he is a relative of the other Toushirou Bros, Ichigo and Gokotai. Nakigitsune No. 23 and Ichigo is No.25 and then 27,29,31 as it was the Toushirou bros and Gokotai and so on the numbers..... meaning Nakigitsune is the oldest awataguchi sword he is older than Ichigo. Another thing is that Nakigitsune is not the oldest but I say he is the oldest because the other older member of Awataguchi is still not in the game yet. He is Onimaru Kunitsuna, the swordsmith was Awataguchi Kunitsuna, the father of Kuniyoshi and the grandfather of Yoshimitsu. Onimaru Kunitsuna was one of the Five Swords Under Heaven follow by Mikazuki Munechika, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, Oodenta Mitsuyo and other sword has not released in the game like Onimaru, Dojigiri Yasutsuna. A sword Dojigiri means Monster Cutter while Onimaru means Devil Cutter. I think Onimaru is No. 21 follow by Nakigitsune No.23 they skipped the middle no. because some transformation like kiwame or a higher level in future for Wakizashi, Uchigatana, Tachi, Oodachi, Yari and Naginata. Tantous are kiwame when they reach into a higher level. Not to sure whether the other types of swords are the same.
