大太刀 ootachi AKA 野太刀 nodachi

A type of Japanese sword. The ootachi/nodachi is essentially a katana with a very long blade, often longer than the wielder's height. The best-known examples are probably Sephiroth's Masamune in Final_Fantasy_VII and the various long sword-class weapons featured in the Monster_Hunter series.

In real life, the ootachi/nodachi was used for men on foot to fight against horse cavalry, but was rare because polearms were much easier to produce and in most cases more effective for that role. Due to it being an expensive weapon that was difficult to forge, it was seen as proof of a swordsmith's skill and a status symbol for a samurai who carried it.
