Tadayuki ?
The name is Tadayuki, I think. The "yuki" is clear; I'm less certain about the "Tada".
The date is February 1944.
A very typical late-war "gunto". Note the minimal choppy signature, and the numbers painted on the tang (assembly numbers), and some sort of stamp on the tang.
Can't see details of the blade in your pictures, but I wouldn't expect it to be special.
Pete

Kore Saku Seki
I am reading Kore Saku? Seki??
no
The signature side (2 chars) just says something-Yuki (probably Tadayuki - the upper half of the Tada has been simplified from 4 strokes down to 1).
The date side says SHOuWA 19 NEN 2 GATSU (Feb. 1944).
The little stamp looks like it might be a "Showa stamp", which is normally shaped like a cherry blossom with the SHOu character inside it. In this case, I think it was carelessly stamped, so only part of it is there.
