In auction posted below I see dark line running through hamon in parralel to ha. Spot starts 15cm from hamachi.

How this kizu is called? Ware something? Its definitely a split.

It is recognized as "fatal"?

It is a bit difficult to see, but may be kitae ware (The Katana Kizu: A flaw of the Japanese Sword | Tozando). Likely not fatal, just cosmetic. 

I assume you are referring to what appears as a gap in the lamination running parallel to the edge at the hamon boundary (picture below). Something is off about the patina on the nakago but maybe it's just me.
