Mitsurugi Clan

The Mitsurugi Clan (御剣一族, Mitsurugi Clan; literally "Govern Sword Family") is a family of pure-blooded Quincy that were said to have been prominent during the Ashikaga period of Japanese history. Unlike the Ishida, who were pure-bloods known for their spirit weapons taking the form of a bow and arrows, the Mitsurugi specialized in generating weapons that resembled traditional nihontō katana.
