People who know me are waiting for me to gush about Tim Drake. I need you to know that I have been holding this (why are there so many people in line before Tim ugh).
Ok, so by the time we get to Tim, touken danshi have been around in the universe of DCxTouRabu long enough for it to not be completely crazy that he has one, while still being a major status upgrade. Remember this scene in Robin (1991) #4 where Lady Shiva has him pick his staff?
This is where Tim picks Namazuo Toushirou.
Following Tim’s theme of making his own choices, Namazuo is one of many swords he can choose from, and it’s likely that he actually gets to meet Namazuo’s conscious self before his final decision is made. He’d meant to choose a weapon that would make him stronger in battle and Tim— Tim chooses it based on its personality.
You see, Namazuo is a sword that doesn’t have all his history weighing him down. Burnt in a fire, re-forged, devoid of all his memories besides the ever-present ache of sadness, Namazuo is as much a fresh slate as any person could consciously choose to be. He is almost aggressively optimistic, wielding a mantra to make new memories and look forward to a better tomorrow, and yet shows his uncertainty when he asks “Me?”
Tim’s job as Robin (the light, the hope, the motivation to go on) is so demanding for a child that’s instinctively the cautious, well-prepared type. He picks Namazuo, because that’s the kind of sword Robin needs (he thinks).
Namazuo ends up being a nicely-balanced partner to Tim. He has a childlike wonder for the things like snow and baby rabbits. He’s easygoing in the situations where Tim might get frustrated. Though if there’s real danger and someone needs to freak out about the world ending by Tim’s side, he’ll probably do that too.
(Also Jason starts out shorter than Kiyomitsu and grows to be taller than him but Tim and Namazuo are basically always middling at the same height hehe)

Namazuo, holding Kamekichi: What type of dog is this?
Urashima: Kamekichi's a turtle.
