The exact kanji for Rokushisouken is unknown as its name has only been spoken, not wrote. ''Kagari'' may be ''縢り'', which means ''darning'' (to sow up), or the less likely ''篝'', which means brazier, a type of heater. ''Rokushisouken'' is likely ''六枝双剣'', which translates as ''Six Sets of Twin Swords''. The name can literally mean: ''Darning: Six Sets of Twin Swords''.
The character for ''Kagari'' is 篝, "[[wikipedia:brazier|brazier]]," and which is the same ''kagari'' in [[Touya Kagari]]'s name (but the two are otherwise completely unrelated). ''Rokushikisouken'' is 六式双剣, literally "Type-Six Twin Swords." The whole name could be translated as: "Brazier: Type-Six Twin Swords."<ref>Arc System Works livestream "ArcNama" on Nov 17, 2017</ref>
