Kaname Tōsen’s Katana
The legendary samurai sword of Captain “Kaname Tōsen” from the anime series “Bleach” is crafted from carbon steel and comes with a saya made of lacquered hardwood. The blade is traditionally polished with sand to ensure a smooth and reflective finish. The high-quality craftsmanship, coupled with the ornate, elegant, and detailed design characteristic of “Bleach”, makes this cosplay katana a true showstopper.
Bleach – Kaname Tōsen
Tōsen has dark skin and dark brown dreadlocks. His pupil-less eyes are a pale lavender color, and he has been blind since birth. As a captain, he wore the traditional Shinigami uniform with sleeves rolled up to the shoulders and his captain’s haori over it. The uniform is secured with a purple obi sash. He also wore an orange scarf around his neck, white boots (instead of the usual sandals), and black fingerless gloves. Typically, he wore clear protective goggles, although this was not always the case. He usually kept his hair tied back in a ponytail.
“Justice without a great cause is nothing but slaughter. However, the same slaughter in the name of a great cause is justice.”
(Kaname Tōsen)
