Why is a katana so efficient at cutting?
Aside from being sharp, the blade shape of a katana supports a good cut. The profile of the blade is that it is convex, and this moves material being cut out and away from the edge of the instrument. Picture the knife as a wedge, but one where the sides are not flat. Rather, they sides are "rounded out" instead of being flat or concave. This helps explain why the blade of the katana is so good at cutting.

What is the smallest Japanese sword called?
The sword is called a Katana. The katana originated in the Muromachi period (1392--1573) as a result of changing battle conditions requiring faster response times. The katana facilitated this by being worn thrust through a belt (obi)with the edge of the blade facing up, which allowed the samurai to draw and cut their enemy in a single motion. The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. It has historically been associated with the samurai of feudal Japan, and has become renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability. The Katana was a very popular sword to have during the feudal era because of how it looked and how effectively fast it could strike an enemy.

How sharp is a katana?
it is know that the katana can cut through 3 bodies if swung at right point of strength and speed The above answer is a old wives tales and is; for the most part, incorrect. The sharpness of a katana is not related to it being a katana, it's related to its steel, heat treatment and the quality produced by whoever made it. Unfortunately, the question is basically impossible to answer as there is no set numerical system for lableing degrees of sharpness. Even so, I would say that a properly made katana should be sharp enough to cut through several layers of Matt or bamboo with minimal effort while not taken any edge damage. Like with any blade-this would call for a necessity of a delicate balancing act between hardness, toughness and edge geometry.

Can a katana cut through a diamond?
Only diamonds can damage other diamonds (or, of course, extremely heavy weights). Possibly if the katana was diamond-studded, or the edges were made of diamonds. I suppose if you could swing it hard enough you could shatter the diamond (like the heavy weight thing above) but you'd have to have superhuman strength.

Is it true that a katana can cut a modern battle tank in two simply by holding it in front of you as it drives towards you?
No. A Katana is a sword, which required somebody to hold it. A modern battle tank weighs over 50 Tonnes and is constructed to withstand direct hits by high explosive armour piercing artillery. No,no Absolutely not!. The armour of a tank is not only stronger and harder but far denser than a simple Katana. Even if Hercules himself were to swing a katana with all his strength he still couldn't cut thru a tank let alone while standing.
