shokudaikiri mitsutadaCLICK TO COPY

A Touken Ranbu character.

A Tachi. His name literally means "Candlestick-cutter Mitsutada", referring to an incident where his namesake was used to kill someone and happened to cut through a bronze candlestick as well. He is obsessed with being cool, even saying it would have been cooler if he had cut through a candlestick made from a sturdier material. He is noted to resemble Kantai Collection's Tenryuu with his eyepatch, general appearance and mannerisms. His black clothes reference the fact that his sword's current appearance is burnt to the hilt.

His original sword is one of Date Masamune (real life)|'s blades, along with Ookurikara, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and Taikogane Sadamune. Mitsutada seems to hold the latter in fond regards, since he calls him "Sada-chan" and specifically asked around for him in his citadel quote, leading artists to portray the two in a pseudo-familial relationship. He has nicknames for the rest of Masamune's blades, calling Tsurumaru "Tsuru-san" and Ookurikara "Kara-chan".

He has a generally friendly personality, and is seen as the heart of the Masamune group due to his compassion. When he interacts with Sayo Samonji or Taikogane Sadamune, he takes on a more brotherly or fatherly disposition. He also seems to enjoy cooking (a reference to his former master Date Masamune, who also liked to cook), since he's able to actively help out his new masters. For this reason, some artists portray him as a secondary butler like Heshikiri Hasebe.

Fans have given him the nickname "Candle-Cutter Pikachu" (CCP), based on an alternate reading of the kanji for Mitsutada.

Appears in Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru as a recurring side character.

Voiced by Satou Takuya. Artist is Fuji Mitsuya.
