tang pic...

Hello, I recently aquired this katana through some trades i made and I need help figuring out what exactly it is. I was told that the blade was recommissioned for ww2 but haven't found proof of that yet. The grain seems real when I compare it to online pictures, and there is a signature on the tang that looks right and I have had it translated but the name stumps me because when I looked it up all I found was an article claiming "Katsuyoshi Toyoda" was one of the most highly revered shirogane-shi in Japan during the showa era. also Toyoda is the true family name of Toyota the car company founder. so first I would like to focus on just the blade then if needed i'll add the mounting pics. The tang translation is not from a trusted source so if you think it's wrong let me know. katsuyoshi toyoda 豊田勝義 is on tang. Thank you.
