Yato (Japanese: 夜刀神 Yato-no-kami[1]) is a regalia katana that debuted in Fire Emblem Fates. It is only usable by Corrin, and is capable of taking on multiple forms by drawing power from the other legendary weapons of Hoshido and Nohr, with each of its forms having special properties. There is a total of seven available forms of Yato, most of which are exclusive to specific campaigns. Its strongest form, the Omega Yato, is the titular Fire Emblem of Fates.
In Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Heroes, and Engage, which do not feature national-based subtypes of the master weapon types, the Yato can be found in the sword category, the category to which the katana is a subtype.
History
Yato, alongside Raijinto, Fujin Yumi, Siegfried, and Brynhildr, was forged by the Rainbow Sage during the war between twelve dragons.
Yato was later concealed in a dragon statue in the center of Hoshido's Shirasagi Castle Town, and was revealed during Corrin's first visit to Hoshido. When a hooded figure stole Ganglari from Corrin and unleashed its power in an attempt on Queen Mikoto's life, the statue was destroyed and Yato was revealed in its base, where Yukimura directed the group's attention to it and explained its legend: that it is said to have been forged as the key to peace in the world and that it chooses its wielder. Yato chose Corrin as its wielder, flying from the base into their hand.[2]
Birthright
Late in the war between Hoshido and Nohr, Corrin takes a pilgrimage to Notre Sagesse on the advice of Leo in order to obtain enough power to defeat Xander and Garon. There, the Rainbow Sage blesses the Yato. It promptly resonates with Takumi's Fujin Yumi and transforms into the Noble Yato.
Later, right before the final battle with Garon, Corrin attempts to attack Garon with the Noble Yato, but it proves completely ineffective. Desperately seeking more power, the Noble Yato resonates with Ryoma's Raijinto and transforms into its ultimate Hoshidan form, the Blazing Yato. Blazing Yato is able to defeat Garon's human form, but Garon transforms into a Blight Dragon, shatters it to pieces, and mortally wounds Corrin. Between life and death, the spirits of Xander, Elise, Flora and Lilith encourage Corrin and resurrect both them and the Blazing Yato, allowing them to defeat Garon once and for all.
Conquest
Early in the war between Hoshido and Nohr, Garon sends Corrin to conquer Notre Sagesse. There, the Rainbow Sage blesses the Yato and explains that Corrin must seek a hero of Nohr to trigger its evolution into the Grim Yato. Later, in the aftermath of an assassination attempt on Garon, Yato resonates with Leo's Brynhildr and transforms into the Grim Yato.
Later, right before the final battle with Garon, Corrin attempts to attack Garon with the Grim Yato, but it proves completely ineffective. However, Xander rallies his demoralized siblings against what was once their father; his Siegfried resonates with the Grim Yato and transforms it into its ultimate Nohrian form, the Shadow Yato. Shadow Yato is able to defeat Garon, but they are all attacked by Takumi's completely possessed corpse. He shatters the Shadow Yato to pieces and mortally wounds Corrin. Between life and death, the spirits of Mikoto, Ryoma, Takumi, and Lilith encourage Corrin and resurrect both them and the Shadow Yato, allowing them to defeat Takumi once and for all.
Revelation
Midway through the campaign against Valla, Corrin takes a pilgrimage to Notre Sagesse in order to obtain enough power to defeat Anankos. There, the Rainbow Sage blesses the Yato and transforms it into the Alpha Yato. He explains that Corrin must ally with the wielders of the other four divine weapons in order to unlock the Seal of Flames and transform the Alpha Yato into the Fire Emblem.
Later, right before the final battle with Anankos, Corrin attempts to attack Anankos with the Alpha Yato, but it proves completely ineffective. Desperately seeking more power, the Alpha Yato resonates with Takumi's Fujin Yumi, Leo's Brynhildr, Ryoma's Raijinto, and Xander's Siegfried and transforms into its true ultimate form, the Omega Yato. With the true power of the Yato unleashed, Corrin is able to defeat Anankos once and for all.

Super Smash Bros. series
The Omega form of Yato appears as Corrin's weapon in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Fire Emblem Cipher
Several forms of Yato are present as skills on cards depicting Corrin in Fire Emblem Cipher:
- The Grim Yato is present on B02-053HN Princess of Nohr, Corrin (Female). If the player has at least two Nohr-symbol bond cards in play, then Corrin receives a +10 attack increase during her player's turn.
- The Noble Yato is present on B02-003HN Prince of Hoshido, Corrin (Male). If the player has at least two Hoshido-symbol bond cards in play, then Corrin receives a +10 attack increase during his player's turn.
- The Alpha Yato is present on B03-052N Princess of Hoshido, Corrin (Female) and B03-077N Prince of Nohr, Corrin (Male). If the player has at least one each of Hoshido-symbol and Nohr-symbol bond cards in play, then Corrin receives a +10 attack increase during their player's turn.
- The Omega Yato is present on B03-051SR Godly Child of the Final Light Flame, Corrin (Female) and B03-076SR Godly Child of the Final Dark Flame, Corrin (Male). It is a Union Skill which requires the presence of at least one bond card with the opposite symbol to the Corrin card in question. If this criteria is fulfilled, then the skill gives Corrin a very powerful effective bonus against dragons, adding +40 to their attack power when fighting dragon-type units.

Trivia
- Yato has more variations in a single game than any human weapon wieldable by the player in the Fire Emblem series, with seven variations. It is, however, beaten by Radiant Dawn's Judge and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia's Conjure in the overall department, with thirteen variations programmed and eleven variations used for Judge, and ten known variations for Conjure; it is also beaten in the playability department by the Fang and Breath from Radiant Dawn, with eight variations playable.
- The Yato is the only damaging weapon to have been classified in both a Hoshidan weapon category in Fates and the category corresponding to its Nohrian counterpart in another game in the main Fire Emblem series.
- The Alpha Yato is the only form of the Yato not wieldable in the Heirs of Fate series.
- The Omega Yato always uses critical hit sounds whenever it lands a hit, even if a critical hit is not triggered.
- Yato's hilt appears to be based on the vajra, a ritual weapon used symbolically in Buddhism and Hinduism. It symbolizes a diamond and a thunderbolt, representing indestructibility and cutting through ignorance respectively.
