Gleam looks similar to Sheen, but his hat is gold colored (along with a small golden fire atop) with several green beads underneath it. His scarf is red, the sword is sky blue with the sheath being light yellow colored, his hakama is orange, and his sandals are yellow.
Fuse the Sublime Whetstone and the Battered Blade to obtain a Holy Blade for Chansin. You get the Sublime Whetstone from the Oni Crank-a-kai while you get the Battered Blade for 600 Jungle Points at Jungle Hunter.
Another way of obtaining Gleam himself is using Glitzy Coin or Cheerful Coin in the Crank-a-kai, or after clearing Terror Time with the Oni Crank-a-kai in the Yo-kai Watch Blasters Mode.
Fuse Chansin with the Holy Blade. The Holy Blade is found in the lottery. It can also be cranked from the Crank-a-kai using a Red Coin. He can also can be befriended in Blasters T as a Sentinel Yokai in the Dastardly Dungeon in Statue of Clunubis.
Gleam can be freed from the tutorial and pick-up Crank-a-kai and can be freed with an Outing Coin, Monge ~ S Rank Confirmed 1 Coin and Monge ~ S Rank Confirmed 2 Coin.
Blasters T camp: "The mere touch of my divine sword will serve to rend our foes!"

Orig"in[]
Gleam's Japanese name, Kusanagi, refers to the sword of the same name, one of the Three Imperial Regalia, originally named Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi ("Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven"), which the warrior god of storms Susanoo had carved out from the tail of the slain Yamata-no-Orochi, (see Venoct#Origin) and gifted to the goddess Amaterasu as an apology gift for his past misdeeds. It was later given to the legendary hero Yamato Takeru (see Fitwit#Origin).
One day an enemy warlord lured the hero into a trap while he was hunting on an open grassland, launching a volley of fiery arrows that set it ablaze. Desperate, Yamato Takeru used the sword to cut a path through the burning grass, and in doing so discovered it had the power to control the wind in the direction it was swung. With that newfound ability, he pushed the flames back against his enemies and turned the tides in his favour. In celebration of his victory, he renamed the sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi ("Grass-cutting Sword").
Trivia[]
Gleam's random nicknames are: Glorio, Kusa, Scarf, and Sunny.
