Moufubuki
From Inga no Kusari wiki
Moufubuki (Furious Snowstorm) is Kiyoshiro Shionoya's Zanpakutō.
Moufubuki’s sealed state looks just like most other katanas'. Its handle, made out of a dark material is wrapped with a midnight-blue fabric and the tsuba (guard) is etched with spiralling flakes representing an eternal snow storm.

Spirit Description
Moufubuki’s spirit takes the form of a large feral wolf with thick, midnight-blue fur and only one spot of white fur in the shape of the kanji “North” on his forehead. It’s eyes are rather peculiar as they are as white as pure snow without even having a pupil so it seems as if he’s looking at nothing and everything at the same time. Seeing Kiyoshiro as nothing more than a young pup he only gives advice when truly needed since Moufubuki seems to believe in learning the harsh lessons on your own. Loyalty and duty are the two main things this spirit is concerned about and unlike Kiyoshiro’s concepts that often clash his seem to actually exist in harmony as just a variation of each other.
Its inner world is just an artic wasteland with sparse vegetation that seems to be under constant attack of a snow storm with the occasional howls of other wolves echoing through the landscape.
Shikai
Release Command: Ikimaku, Moufubuki (Rage, Furious Snowstorm)
During its initial release Moufubuki takes the shape of a slender Chinese broadsword with jagged spikes running down the upper half of its back and a single, silver bell attached to the handle.
Shikai Abilities
Hyou no Kiba (Hail of Fangs)
Slashing in front of himself several times Kiyoshiro freezes all the water in his blades path, creating very thin but strong pieces of ice. These translucent blades of ice shatter into many small but razor sharp pieces as he rings his sword’s bell, sending them directly towards his enemy’s position.
Toukoushi (Frozen Renewal)
Gathering water from his surrounding and turning it into ice Kiyoshiro can reform the blade of Moufubuki out of ice.
Strengths
Hyou no Kiba: Easy to make and nearly invisible to the naked eye on a clear day they provide a means of attack that can cripple, injure or slow down most enemies.
Weaknesses
Hyou no Kiba: While these pieces of ice are razor sharp, near invisible under most circumstances and very fast they lack in destructive power. They can only make shallow to medium depth cuts or punctures that are meant to hinder movement and cause bleeding.
