The Kagari Rokushisouken [1] are a pair of twin swords with detachable blades. They are currently owned by Hibiki Kohaku.
These swords are short and thick. Each blade is made up of multiple segments and can detach from its handle through the use of a trigger. The blades come with a sheathe which also acts as a quiver for other attachable blades. Hibiki generally uses the Rokushisouken with one being held in a reverse grip while the other rests inside its sheathe, his hand resting on the handle. After certain moves or winning a round, Hibiki will detach both blades and reach for replacements
Rokushisouken's segments are inconsistent, being shown as having as many as ten segments or as little as six.
