Monohoshizao (物干竿, lit. "The Laundry-Drying Pole") is a sword used by Mitsurugi in Soul Edge (where it was called Kojiro's Sword), Yoshimitsu in Soulcalibur II, and Arthur in Soulcalibur III. It is probably named after the sword that a Japanese swordsman, Sasaki Kojirō, used. Kojirō was killed by Miyamoto Musashi, who Mitsurugi is believed to have been modelled after.

Soul Edge description

It is unlocked by completing Episode 4 of Mitsurugi's Edge Master mode. As Mitsurugi journeys down the Yangtze river, he is attacked by Li Long, who believes that Mitsurugi killed his lover, Chie. Despite being poisoned by the assassin, Mitsurugi manages to successfully repel him. As Li Long flees, he leaves his possessions behind, allowing Mitsurugi to go through them to find an antidote to the poison and the legendary Kojiro's Sword.
