Thank you for your comment!
Yes, Masahiro became Masako. The sword's will though is a piece of Masako's own soul, so as the Emperor says, it's not like she's being "controlled" by someone else, but more like being reunited by her past life (OK, splitting hairs here).
Keiko plays a very pivotal role as you will see.
