Hamakaze

Hamakaze is a broad, fan-like sword used by Genki Namibui of the Neo Swordsmen of the Mist. It consists of a handle and a black, paddle-like blade which widens towards the tip. This means that it can be swing like a normal sword or turned Ninety degrees to swing the flat of the blade, generating powerful gusts of wind. The blade was given to him by his sensei when he was still a Genin, so he has wielded it for longer than most of his colleagues had their blades. As a result, almost all of his ninjutsu revolves around Hamakaze, and Genki dreads the day he must pass it on to his future student.
