[@WSilversun] ay pretty good. We have three foreigners now I think. Only thing is the radical shape of the asauchi. It can deviate but not by that much. If you still want a short blade, about the size of a kodachi is fine. Shotto could be renamed to Tamahou, which is soul cannon. Shotto is just a borrowed word. Oh I will also note. Any Kido anyone creates, anyone else is free to use them too granted their character has chosen to learn it.
