Kanemitsu no Tomoe

The is/was a naginata wielded by the Inu-hanyō Setsuna.

History
The naginata is of human-made and originally belonged to the moth yōkai Gaga Gozen until Setsuna slayed him. Miroku then used the weapon as a medium to seal Setsuna's awakened demon blood and since then it has become her primary weapon.

Its blade was shattered during a battle with Lord Kirinmaru that unfortunately claimed Setsuna's life as well.

Physical Description
Kanemitsu no Tomoe is a pole arm consisting of a curved single-edged blade mounted on a dark blue shaft with a golden tsuba (handguard). It has a white fur tassel attached to the tsuba and a golden pommel. The weapon stands taller than Setsuna. In Episode 24, Kanemitsu no Tomoe becomes red for a short time, when Setsuna infuses more Yōki from her Blood Blade.

Powers & Abilities

 * Senpū-jin: By spinning the naginata rapidly above her head, Setsuna can create a massive cyclone of wind, sucking enemies into it and inflicting major damage. It can also function as a projectile attack by spinning the naginata towards her opponent.
 * Muretachi no Tsubame: By slashing the air, Setsuna can unleash a barrage of green yōkai energy in the form of swallows towards her opponent.
 * Yadori Ga no Tsuki: A swarm of light moths that release sleep spores that causes subjects to fall asleep. However, it has no effect on those who've been cursed by the Dream Butterfly.

Specialized Abilities
Flaming Kanemitsu no Tomoe: Setsuna temporary gained a flaming Kanemitsu no Tomoe after absorbing the fire from the conjoined twin yōkai Kinka. At the same time, its unique abilities were also enhanced with the flames. Following the defeat of Joka, it was never used again, as Kinka had soon died.
