Trivia

• Its examine text refers to Hattori Hanzō, a famous samurai and ninja of the Sengoku era in Japan. The text itself may be a reference to Kill Bill, in which his descendant who shares his name is a swordsmith.
• Ak-Haranu can be found wielding a katana in Port Phasmatys, as well as Lorelai in the Warriors' Guild basement.
• The katana requires one hand to attack, however when it is equipped it uses both hands.
