Family Heirlooms and Holdings

Tetsuhara family Katana

The head of the Tetsuhara clan inherits a Katana once gifted by Coordinator Miyogi Kurita to Jackson Hayes in 2865 for his faithful service. This legendary weapon, its 69cm blade still flawless even after the passing of almost three centuries, was also carried into battle by Minobu Tetsuhara, revered as having been one of the greatest samurai of his generation.[1]

BattleMechs

The family is in possession of the PNT-9R Panther Katana Kat, an heirloom 'Mech once piloted by Minobu Tetsuhara. During her campaign as leader of the Dragon's Fury, Katana Tormark loans the Panther to Brotherhood MechWarrior Abeda Measho.[6][7][8]
