seki-stamped tang, mei help needed

[Jeff Pringle]

This has me stumped, digging around the kanji sites etc. it looks like this reads ko- something katsu-something, the only kanji that looks anything like number two to me is mori, but komori doesn't sound like a name....any help would be much appreciated.

The sword is in bad shape, given to a friend's grandfather upon graduation from a military academy in Korea..early forties.

Thanks a bunch!

Komori Katsumori perhaps...

Hi,

A little correction, the mei says "Komori KatsuYuki" .
