A ninjatô over 3 meters long... ? This is an highly disturbing depiction.

Firstly, because a Ninjatô is supposed to be closer in size to a Kodachi or to a O-Wakizashi than a Katana, and thus certainly not the size of a Nodachi, or a super Nodachi (for example : Nenekirimaru's zenchô is 324cm & Nagasa is 215cm). Why ? For practical and tactical reasons, and more comfortable transport and dissimulation, wether actively hidding or sneaking somewhere, or disguising. In mountains or grappling or ambush or discret assassination, ninja would need short blades for comfortable practical use... just like how you don't take a Nodachi or a Flamberge pr even a Spear pr Hallberd to fight into a narrow corridor, for example.

Secondly, because by virtue of being used by a ninja or of being straight (Mu-sori), doesn't make it a Ninjatô ! Should be ovious, but looks like it isn't ! When was the last time you saw a rapier or a Yari or a Javelin, for example, being called a Ninjato ?
