Soul Calibur 4 Mitsurugi

Mitsurugi is one of many playable characters in Soul Calibur IV, a fighting game published by Namco Bandai for the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. He has been a regular part of the series since the original Soul Edge was released in 1996.

Mitsurugi is an expert swordsman who originally sought out Soul Edge to defeat his rifle-wielding opponents. Eventually, he became skilled enough to do so without the aid of the evil sword and grew more concerned with finding new adversaries.¹
