Kurogane’s sword, Ginryū (銀竜 Silver Dragon), plays a significant role in his journey and character development in the anime Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. As a ninja warrior from the feudal kingdom of Nihon (Japan), Kurogane serves Princess Tomoyo of Shirasagi Castle with unmatched loyalty and strength. However, his unrestrained use of violence leads Tomoyo to curse him, forcing him to grow weaker each time he kills unnecessarily. This sets him on a journey to learn the true meaning of strength.

At the start of the series, Kurogane wields Ginryū, a katana that originally belonged to his late father and was later used by Kurogane to avenge his death. Although Kurogane wished for the blade to be buried with his mother, Princess Tomoyo secretly preserved it, knowing its deep significance. When Kurogane joins Syaoran and the group to travel across dimensions, Ginryū becomes his payment to the Dimension Witch, Yūko Ichihara, highlighting the weight of his sacrifice and his resolve to return home.

Throughout the series, Kurogane’s connection to Ginryū symbolizes his growth, honor, and ties to family and homeland. His eventual reunion with the real Ginryū underscores his transformation and his understanding of true strength, shaped by his companions and experiences.
