Here's mine.

Yokaze (night wind). It's sealed form is a simple katana with a red hilt and guard.

Shikai: Its command is Kurayami ni Shintou (Penetrate into the Darkness). It transforms into a daisho pair, with both swords being completely black. Its ability is to manipulate wind to increase its cutting power and reach. Like other daisho pairs, the katana uses wind for power while the wakizashi uses wind for speed.

Yokaze is unique in that its power and speed increases depending on the time of day and the phase of the moon, with its power and speed at its max on nights with a new moon.

Some of Yokaze's abilities are,

1) Kaze no Yari (Wind Spear). Yokaze uses wind to extend his reach. The katana is more powerful but the wakizashi is faster.

2) Yorukyu (Night Sphere). This technique makes the air around the user speed up to create a defensive sphere and block most attacks.

3) Yokaze Hijitsu: Okami Kiba (Night Wind Secret Technique: Wolf Fang). By concentrating the wind on Yokaze's edge, the user can release it, creating a wave of wind like blades.

Bankai: Yozora Hoshi no Nai: Kokufu (Starless Night Sky: Black Wind). When released, Kokufu releases a blast of wind that coats everywhere in complete darkness. The blades remain the same as they appear in Shikai. The abilities to manipulate wind are greatly increased as the area in darker that during a new moon, not only is its power, speed, range and lethality are pushed to the max, but Kokufu can manipulate any wind that is coated in its darkness, making it so dodging is extremely difficult.
