Koto Nakazawa

Koto Nakazawa stands among the finest warriors of the Shinchōgumi, renowned for her skilled mastery of dual-blade swordsmanship. Modeled after a real legendary figure from the late Edo period, she rose to prominence through her extraordinary martial prowess at a Tokyo kendo tournament in the early Meiji era. Her composed presence and commanding aura leave a lasting impression, as she demonstrates throughout the story that a woman's fighting ability is second to none—embodying both an iron will and the clarity of mind to make decisive judgments in battle.
