it depends on the situation, the Naginata has a more effective cutting edge, making it more versatile than a Yari of the same length, but yari were often very long and presumably used in large formations like the European Pike, which would make it a very effective anti-cavalry weapon, though in a one on one encounter on foot the naginata is the superior weapon.

The katana is with out a doubt the primary weapon. The wakizashi was the secondary weapon. But not necessarily. It depends on the era your talking about. If you mean prior the the 1600's during the warring states era, then the katana would be a secondary weapon. The primary being a bow, naginata, spear, or even a firearm depending on the time & the individual. Durring the Edo period, then yes the katana became more of a primary weapon, since there were virtually no more wars.
