There's significant problems with those so suggestions, especially "confiscated".

1. If it's not an authentic Katana (such as gunto), it's required by law for police to destroy it. Very unlikely any principal would sit on that. Gunto are routinely found all the time, it'd be trivial for a school to say they found one in their storage and turn it in no questions asked. And if he wanted to secretly keep it, it'd make no sense to have it on school grounds.

2. If it is authentic, government actually regards it as a piece of artwork. They are also very expensive, new or old. It will be registered as such and thus no principal would be able to confiscate it indefinitely as the owner (probably a parent) would claim ownership. Nor it could be an item he just stumbled upon and kept... again, it'll be registered to an entity.

3. Modern training blades, such as iato, don't have an edge.

4. Besides, Kendo is completely separate from Karate in Japanese schools. As well as Judo, Aikido, Kyudo, etc.
