Trivia
Origin
Kartana may be based on origami and samurai. In particular, it bears a distinct resemblance to noshi, a ceremonial origami attached to gifts for congratulatory occasions, as a token of good luck. It may also draw inspiration from paper cuts, given its codename and that the vast majority of its moveset involves blades, cutting, and slashing. It may also reference shikigami, paper figurines cut into the shape of a person or animal and imbued with spiritual power, often used by priests to ward off negative energy.
Name origin
Kartana may be a combination of katana and art or charta (Latin for paper). It may also incorporate the name Curtana, the British ceremonial sword used at the coronations for kings and queens, or kartana, a Sanskrit word for "cutting."
Kamitsurugi may be a combination of 紙 kami (paper), 神 kami (deity), and 剣 tsurugi (sword).
