Historically, the katana was one of the traditional Japanese swords used by samurai in federalist Japan.

The first use of katana as a word to describe a long sword, distinct from a tachi, dates back to the Kamakura period (1185–1333).

The katana was often paired with a similar, smaller companion sword, such as a wakizashi, or it could also be paired with the tanto, a smaller, similarly shaped dagger. Combining a katana with a smaller sword is called a daisho. Only samurai were allowed to wear a daisho: it represented the samurai's social power and personal honor.

The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, thin, single-edged blade with a circular guard and a long, two-handed handle.
