A Touken Ranbu character, designed by Kanameyura. The personification of the tachi Ichigo Hitofuri He is the older brother of the Awataguchi school swords, due to the fact that he was the only tachi ever forged by Awataguchi.
Originally named "Okatana Yoshimitsu" (御刀吉光), Ichigo Hitofuri once belonged to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He ordered the blade to be shortened to match his rather short height. Ichigo Hitofuri was damaged in the summer of 1615 during the Siege of Osaka at Osaka Castle and then re-tempered by Yasutsugu under the order of Tokugawa Ieyasu. However, Ieyasu didn’t had the chance to use this sword because he was advised by the Priest Tenkai to avoid sending Hideyoshi’s swords (including Ichigo Hitofuri) to Edo. It has been an Imperial treasure since that time, alongside Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Uguisumaru and Hirano Toushirou.
He has short aqua hair and yellow eyes. He wears white gloves and a military uniform with necktie.
Ichigo has a polite and humble personality and is shown to be concerned with his brothers' well-being. However, it seems that he keeps things to himself, such as the fact that he's worried about losing his identity (since he was retempered in the past) and is secretly displeased about the Saniwa having so many swords.
Fans enjoy portraying him as the big brother of the Awataguchi tantous, due to him being the biggest/tallest blade among Yoshimitsu's creations, not because he's the oldest among them. Either that, or he's presented as a foil to the prankster Tsurumaru.
Because of his in-game elder brother status, many of the swords tend to call him "Ichi-nii" (Big brother Ichi), which extends to his nickname outside the game as well.
