Kurogane - Ninja in CLAMP series
Kurogane Yaiba - Samurai in

Ichimura Tetsunosuke - Shisengumi in
Peacemaker Kurogane
Kurogane roughly translates to "Black Iron/Steel", which is most likely just branching off of the idea that this is a metal-based Beyblade because they have to somehow through that in and Kurogane is the name of a main character who respectfully uses a sword of some kind (in this case, Kurogane uses a samurai, which is affiliated with a sword).
