Shin has an incredibly personal distaste for the Katana weapon, mostly because he was alive during World War 2, and has an incredibly deep seated hatred for the Japanese for what they did to the Chinese. The Katana being the figurehead weapon of Japanese culture, he refuses to use it, out of respect for his homeland. However, that does not stop him from using other Japanese-make tools such as the Kusarigama.

Maybe I can use a Japanese character and fight Shin once the tournament is done?
