Many have also noted his previous roles, such as Hellshake Yano in "Pop Team Epic," Dorsi in "Ranking of Kings," and Noma Naoaki in "Golden Kamuy," leading to mixed reactions of surprise and delight, like "Helshake Yano?!" The fact that Tadokoro, known for Noma Naoaki in "Golden Kamuy," is voicing a Touken Danshi has sparked enthusiastic comments about how the "rebel" cast members from that series are now gathering in Touken Ranbu.

Futasujihisadamune can be obtained through a limited-time smithing campaign. The campaign begins today, January 14, 2026, at 9 PM JST and is scheduled to run until January 27, 2026, at 12:59 PM JST. Many Saniwa are eagerly preparing for smithing, determined not to miss this rare opportunity. With Tadokoro Hinata's captivating voice, a new Touken Danshi is sure to be welcomed into many honmaru.
