* **Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum** (弐 (に) ノ型 (かた)  御 (み) 影 (かげ) 梅 (うめ) , *Ni no kata: Mikage Ume*?) - A defensive technique that deflects attacks using rotating sword slashes.

* **Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo** (肆 (し) ノ型 (かた)  紅 (べに) 花 (はな) 衣 (ごろも) , *Shi no kata: Beni Hanagoromo*?) - A single sword slash that curves and twists.
