A Touken Ranbu character.
The personification of the katana of the same name
One of Oda Nobunaga's favorite swords. His name comes from the incident where a servant angered his owner and hid behind a table to no avail because Oda used Hasebe to slice through the table and kill that servant. Shortly afterwards, he gave the sword to someone who wasn't even one of his trusted people. Because of that incident, Hasebe resents him.
Hasebe is portrayed as being serious, dutiful and extremely loyal to the Saniwa, to the point that his opening lines are "If it's an order from the Master...". Artists tend to give him a comically serious personality who's utterly obsessed with pleasing the Saniwa (a trait that often comes into play in more comedic side works, such as Hanamaru or the official Anthalogy; see Pool #11476 for this portrayal). He is also presented as a foil to fellow swords Ookurikara and Shokudaikiri Mitsutada.
He has short brown hair and purple eyes. His standard outfit are purple robes, white gloves and sode on each shoulder. His casual outfit is a purple and white track suit. His Kiwame form has him dress similarly to a priest, reflecting how his later owner, Kuroda Yoshitaka, converted to Christianity later in life.
He is featured in Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru as one of the major supporting characters, as the Saniwa's secretary sword. His loyalty to the Saniwa is more exaggerated in this version.
