Its not quite a kusarigama, but kinda. the Kusarigama (the Gambol Shroud's chain-scythe form) is a slashing weapon based on wide swings of the sickle. The rope dart is basically a stabbing weapon, that's generally more mid-range (vs the kusarigama's longer range), and the Rope Dart is usually harder to predict. while the Kusarigama is a longer-ranged, more easily-predicted slashing weapon.

But you're right, they are a bit similar...
