Known for its personified historical Japanese swords, Touken Ranbu is a franchise that first started as an online web browser game by DMM and Nitroplus. The game, Touken Ranbu Online, was launched in 2015 and has developed and inspired several anime, musical and stage play adaptations, live-action films, and hack-and-slash games since there. In the game, the player takes on the role of the sage Saniwa whose mission is to defeat evil forces known as the Historical Revisionists.
To fight them, Saniwa has the ability to transform famous historical swords into Touken Danshi. Players can summon personified swords, form an army, and fight against evil forces trying to change history. There are currently over 200 Touken Danshi that players can summon in the game.
