I agree the Katana is perfect for role playing, however when you see the word katana and kensai in the same sentence, role play is usually out the window and "powergamer" is in. The Katana is definately the weapon of choice for a Japanese character but would be out of place for just about anyone else. Not to mention that the katana sucks vs real armor, and only really useful against lightly or unarmored foes....ahhh well it is all roleplay and people should be able to play what they want to...I just dislike the kensai uberclass.
