His name comes from when Oda Nobunaga, unable to forgive a tea priest's mistake, cut through the cupboard the priest was hiding in (heshikiru), earning the name 'Heshikiri.'

Atakiri, who absolutely loves the interactions between you and Heshikiri Hasebe—in other words, 'Heshisani'.
I am Atakiri, the favorite sword of Kuroda Kanbei. My mountings were made by Umetada Myoju, making me the original model for the mountings of our Lord Sword, Heshikiri Hasebe... or so it goes. That said, I am a so-called 'daily-use' sword, so please feel free to use me conveniently without hesitation.
Touken Ranbu, starting.
Now, what shall we do?
My name is Atakiri. Yes, a sword for everyday use. If you have a request, please command me as you wish.
My mountings are high-quality, but please don't let that hold you back. I am, after all, your strategist.
So, what shall we do? Prepare for a nap? Get snacks ready? As a daily-use sword, please use me for your convenience.
This best outfit was made for me by Umetada-kun. He is very skillful.
Ugh... Ah... It's so... very dark here...
Scratches of this level are... fine... Well, I am for daily use, after all...
I shall be used conveniently.
If it is your command.
I shall show you I can be mastered.
Does it suit me?
Let us go and cut down my Master's enemies.
This looks like it will make a fine souvenir.
Once I cut down this enemy, it's over.
Send out the scouts! Forward!
Surround them! Don't let a single bug escape!
Lies and falsehoods. A strategy is only a strategy if it's unconventional.
All according to plan.
Roll over.
Heh. Don't bark, you lowlife.
To think such a tactic...
Heh, this much? It's trivial.
Did you underestimate me as 'just' a strategist?
I have simply carried out my Master's orders.
I believe I've become even more useful.
Mission accomplished. Please confirm.
...Even a packhorse looks good in fine clothes.
It's not the horse's fault...
Land use should be efficient.
The development plan is ready.
I have a tactic I'd like to try. ...Heh, don't worry. I won't drop you in a hole.
I suppose I can't corner them with just this much...
If I was of use to you.
The expedition party has returned.
A new sword? I wonder what kind of person they are.
I can't do it as well as Umetada-kun, but here.
I'll go fix this fraying. After all, it's my only good outfit.
Yes... It's hard to be useful if one looks unsightly.
Now, shall we test the blade's edge?
Even if you are my Master, I will be strict here. Yes, I am a strategist, after all.
Then, this way. I have everything prepared.
Pant... pant... It's narrow... dark... co...ld...
Heshikiri Hasebe. ...A strange name, isn't it? My previous master, unable to forgive a tea priest's blunder, cut him down along with the cupboard he was hiding in. That's the kind of man he was. Oda Nobunaga, I mean.
I am called Heshikiri Hasebe. If it is my Master's command, I will handle anything.
Touken Ranbu, starting now.
And? What should I cut?
What shall we do? Executing a vassal? Burning down a temple? As you wish.
If possible, please call me Hasebe, not Heshikiri. That name comes from my previous master's violence.
To give me a name and then hand me over to someone who wasn't even a direct vassal. That's the kind of man my previous master was.
If you tell me to wait, I will wait forever. As long as you come to get me.
The expedition lot have returned.
As my Master desires.
I accept the command.
I am deeply honored.
If it is my Master's command.
I shall show you I can be mastered.
Leave it to me. I shall cut down anything for you.
I've secured a souvenir for my Master.
No matter what the enemy is, I just cut them down.
Report the situation. I will not tolerate negligence.
I'll cut you down!
It's useless to hide!
You cannot block my blade!
So what?
...Haha!
I will cut down any enemy who opposes my Master!
I have simply fulfilled my Master's command.
How is it? I've grown stronger.
Even if it's just training, my Master told me to win.
Leave it to me. I will bring the best results to my Master.
It is only natural to produce results.
Collecting new swords, are we?
It is finished. Please accept it.
Understood. I will go and repair it at once.
I can still go on... No, if it is my Master's command...
The blade's edge is sharp.
I wasn't told to hold back, was I?
As your subordinate, let us continue to work hard together.
If it is my Master's command, even field work...
I wonder if I'll be ordered to cook after the harvest?
If it is my Master's command, even stable duty...
Handling horses is easy enough.
The mission has been accomplished. Please confirm.
Master. I have brought a letter for you.
Yes. Whether it's carrying luggage or anything else, please just say the word.
