Kokutaku have finally updated the dimensions of their jpen blades. Their latest top-of-the-line model is 254 mm long and 134 mm wide.

Seems a bit narrow. What's the playing surface length (excluding handle)?

148 mm. It used to be 129-130 mm wide. Unfortunately, they have run out of high quality hinoki wood. The hinoki they use now is as bad as that of Butterfly.

What is the name of this blade? Does it have a price already?
Is this superior to Kokutaku Kiwami?

The name seems to be simply Kokutaku Excellent. The hinoki they have used is of poor quality. It's like Butterfly Cypress G-MAX. Nothing like the dense grains of Kokutaku from a few years ago.
The price is around 370 euro.

The grain looks good. I'll be curious to see the pricing in Japan.
