Shiranui

Inventor: Naomichi Marufuji

Name meaning: While "Shiranui" can mean many things (it is a sumo term, also used for ghost lights) it can also refer to the act of a father giving a samurai sword to a son, which it does in this case. While not easy to convey the true meaning, my understanding is that the move in its motion, is meant to represent the father taking the sword from the scabbard, and ceremoniously handing it over, hilt first to the recipient.
