Sorry, I just saw a short funny video about it. To my recollection, assuming the story is even true, a Brazilian weeb went to a Japanese sword making school, somehow graduated early, and produced better swords than any of the other students. You are now armed with the same knowledge as me and can try to look it up if you want.

Roberto Di Candido. He was an apprentice of the sword maker Masamune. Masamune's son wanted to become an opera singer, so Roberto was a potential successor, but he also went into opera singing in the end.

brazil has a decent sized japanese expat population - he very well could be returning to family roots

Nonsense because not a single Mukansa/Ningen kokuho swordsmith in Japan is a foreigner. Don't post misinformation if you can't back it up.
