Kin-sama is maker of the weapons for the Phantom Saints, and others. But he is the guardian of the weapons until someone proves his worth. Kin is a kind understanding soul, except when testing a person. He doesn't see a sword as a weapon merely for killing, he sees it as a way to prevent killing and to keep peace. Dark understands this, and "loses" during the "fight" vs. Kin-sama. Thus, Kin gives Dark Shinrouen to replace the Sword of the Red Phoenix. Kin is old, but very wise.
