How draining is this to perform? You’ll need Debuff for this.

I've already purchased Debuff, just forgot to add the prerequisits. The Iaido: First Strike can only be used once. It isn't particularly straining, it's just that the circumstances only allow it to be used once per encounter.
The Katana is not particularly tiring either, being it is his primary form of attack, not to mention the steeple of his combat capabilities. The damage is only assumed as high as it is due to Takezo's 5 ATK, which from what I understand is pretty decent. It also requires both hands, meaning he can't preform any supplementary actions with his offhand.
The bleeding aspect is simply due to the katana being a blade... and blades cut. It's a static effect, not a more strenuous variation. As mentioned, the damage is only mild by comparison to the actual attack.

Takezo carries on his person a katana stolen from the corpse of a previously slain enemy. The sword is overall 36 inches. 12 inches is the hilt and handle, with twenty four being the blade. For Takezo's height it is on the short side of proper length. The blade is proper length, but the long handle is abnormal on most swords. It is meant to allow a better leverage grip that many might see on cavelry weapons, emphasizing both control and strength, while reducing the length of the cutting edge. The sword possess a Koshi Sori, a bend closer to the tang. The most common Sori is a Tori Sori, or a curvature nearest the middle of the blade. Takezo's Sori depth is average in most ways. The Koshi Sori allows for a quicker draw and easier sheathing. Takezo always wields the Katana two handed for maximum strength and control.
Takezo has trained to aim for exposed major and minor arteries. As such, a victim of his blade is left with a bleeding wound, dealing extra damage to the wounded target for a few seconds before the bleeding stops. Repeated slashes add accumulative damage. The damage over time is mild, and the duration for each cut is no more than three seconds.
Iaido: First Strike (300)
This technique can only be used once per encounter, as it requires drawing and immediately attacking in one fluid motion to catch an opponent off guard. Due to it relying on surprise, those with Foresight are immune, as they usually have the ability to predict this type of attack.
Takezo's first strike seeks to put a foe at a disadvantage. He does this by going for a vital slash, right across the chest. This grievous wound not only deals heavy bleed damage, but hampers the victim's breath, due to each expansion of their chest causing extraordinary pain. A victim that cannot breath cannot properly move. If Takezo lands his Iaido: First Strike, the victim takes three seconds of heavy bleed damage and suffers a slight reduction to speed.
