AKAYUKI: Steel Blossoms Red Family Names, Rarities and Rolls

Roll for a family name through CHARACTER on the title screen. Rename Spins let you roll new names, and rarer family names grant stronger stat boosts. After spinning, you can view the name’s full buffs; click Confirm on the name screen when you want to keep a result.

The documented rarity labels are Common, Uncommon, Legendary and Exotic. The table gives three documented family-name and rarity examples; it is not a complete family-name list or rarity ranking.

Other names visible in player nameplates or kill-feed entries include Kojiro, Minamoto, Matsumoto, Kawakami and Sakakibara.

Where to roll and how to keep a name

Open CHARACTER from the title screen to reach the character options, including family-name rolling. This is also where you can return later to change your appearance and name, so you can revisit naming after your initial customization.

Use Rename Spins to roll another family name. When you get a result you want to keep, click Confirm on the naming screen. One demonstrated example shows a player accepting Kaneko, described as an Uncommon name, and then moving on to hair and outfit customization. That gives you a concrete example of the acceptance action: the rolled name is chosen through confirmation.

For more help finding the relevant character options, see the Character menu guide.

What family-name rarity does to your stats

Family names are inspired by famous historical samurai and carry stat benefits. Higher rarity means stronger stat boosts, making the name roll part of character progression.

To judge a particular result, inspect its full buffs after spinning. The official 1.3.11 notes added the ability to view those buffs, giving you the details of the rolled name’s bonuses alongside its identity. The rarity label tells you the broad strength relationship; the full buff display is where you can examine the actual result.

The documented examples associate Sato with Common, Kaneko with Uncommon and Oda with Legendary. Exotic is also a reported family-name rarity, mentioned as a target for players saving Rename Spins. Those examples do not supply numerical bonuses for each family, so use the in-game buff display when assessing your own roll.

How to recognize your family name

The displayed name puts the family name first and the given name second. For example, the customization screen shows Sato Miyuki with a COMMON tag: Sato is the family name, while Miyuki is the given name.

In the world, player nameplates include Sakakibara Izumi. The kill feed also shows entries including “Kojiro killed Minamoto” and “Matsumoto killed Kawakami.” These examples help you recognize displayed names you encounter while playing, even when a rarity tag is not displayed beside them.

Rename Spins and later rolls

Rename Spins are the currency used to roll new family names. Leveling can award them: one recorded Level 3 result panel displayed +4 RENAME SPINS. That is a specific level-up example, rather than a fixed reward amount for every level.

If you want to pursue another name later, return to CHARACTER with Rename Spins available. The how to get spins guide covers that resource separately, and the Codes page maintains code information.
