Explore TOUKEN RANBU: Revive Legendary Swords

Surprisingly, the fascination with Japanese swords has seen a resurgence, particularly among the younger generations. Both young men and women are captivated by these iconic samurai symbols. Women, especially, are participating in KATANA swordplay classes or embrace the role of KATANA WOMAN by visiting historical sites to deepen their understanding. Some even start their own sword collections. This renewed interest is driven by the phenomenon known as TOUKEN RANBU!

In Japan, it's often a manga, anime, or game that rekindles interest in historical topics. Touken Ranbu (刀剣乱舞), which means 'Wild Sword Dance,' is a game that has greatly contributed to this trend. It follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, KANTAI COLLECTION, developed by DMM.COM and NITROPLUS.

These online games blended with historical themes are a recipe for success. Just as Kantai Collection created a revival of WWII ships, Touken Ranbu has brought Japanese swords into the limelight, boasting over a million users. Launched in 2015, it is currently exclusive to Japan, but global fans eagerly anticipate an anime series adaptation. The game is already popular in the international cosplay scene.

For men, the fleet girls were a marvel, and for women, the alluring sword characters are equally appealing. Set in the year 2205, the main character travels back in time to rewrite history, battling evil with the animated swords. Playing as Saniwa sages, users bring legendary swords to life, beginning with 5 SWORDS and learning about 46 HISTORICAL SWORDS throughout the game.

While combat is mostly automated, players level up their swords, enhancing their battle prowess. Despite a simpler storyline, the stunning character designs engage players in a captivating journey with these exquisitely crafted weapons.
