He defeated the master's younger brother, and named his own style "Ganryu." He was known as a handsome swordsman wielding the 3-shaku-long, approximately 90 centimeters to one meter, nodachi WP, “Bizen Osahune Nagamitsu”, that was also called the “Monohoshi Zao". He studied under the originator of the Chujoryu kodachi style, Toda Seigen WP, favoring a long sword. His real name was speculated to be Tsuda (津田 ?). While the Kojirou in the modern era is an invention, a blend of details from the lives of many nameless and forgotten historical swordsmen, he is said to have been born in the Eiroku era WP in the Echizen WP countryside according to records. He is a disposable swordsman meant only to act out the role of Sasaki Kojirou, a fictional swordsman created from a fictional story. With any great deed performed by Assassin, the reward will go to "Sasaki Kojirou", as he is nothing and all his actions are meaningless. It is simply something thought to be part of who he is. The Bitchu Aoe may have been the master's, or perhaps he received it from the Holy Grail when the legendary soul was summoned. Differing from the legend, his nodachi is longer, 1.5 meters compared to 90 centimeters and engraved with Bitchu Aoe (備中青江, Bichū Aoe ?, Blue River of Bitchu). The legendary Kojirou is known as cool and elegant, so Assassin's pursuit of sword technique, sophistication, and finding joy in dueling with strong foes is reminiscent of that character. While determination is normally the key to success, he simply noticed that it had succeeded. He spent much of his life simply trying to figure out the best method to cut down a swallow, and although he realized the method was impossible for a human, he had nothing else to do and kept on practicing. The reason he is summoned is simply because he can execute that legendary technique. ![]() He utilizes a long Japanese katana and discovered the ultimate technique, “ Tsubame Gaeshi”, being absolutely all he possesses. He died lacking a name, never even fortunate enough to be given one, and the ability to read or write. ![]() He was a nameless martial artist with some relation to the Ryuudou Temple, but there is no way to know his true identity. After one month, the master swordsman drew his last breath, and he completely threw himself into the path of a swordsman. The master swordsman only taught him the refined behaviour of a swordsman a communion with nature and the master swordsman did not instruct him on anything related to sword techniques. He was enthralled by the swordsmanship of the master, and he began training under him the next day. He met a master swordsman who had retired deep into the mountains, and began his ordinary life in the mountains himself. This individual was the son of an ordinary farming family, living an ordinary farm life and separated from ordinary common sense. If there was to be a database for all of humanity, he is the piece of data that best matches the parameters of Sasaki, so his personality would become Kojirou's personality and his monumental feats would become that of Kojirou rather than his own. The person summoned in his place is not a Heroic Spirit, but an existence closer to that of wraiths. ![]() He did not actually exist, so it would be impossible to summon the real thing as a Servant. Kojirou is known as a master swordsman whose existence is doubted even though his name remains recorded in history. In reality, the individual summoned as Assassin's true name was unknown, and to be more specific, he never had a true name.
