As of this I am unsure as no differentiation in name from blade number was
made known to me; what I know is that the 34th Grandmaster of Togakure Ryu
Bujinkan Ninjutsu (Masaaki Hatsumi) uses 'Shuriken' for the four pointed
one...as does Stephen Hayes who was taught by him. :)

However, Hatsumi speaks no English and typically uses esoteric Japanese;
therefore his books had to be translated, and in doing much was lost.

I am very off-topic now, I need to render something..
