A consultation on banning "ninja swords" was also announced this week.

Cyber Ninjas had, up until the audit, done occasional work providing security measures for random individual apps, offering this service through a website that featured people wearing actual ninja costumes and wielding katanas.

The government would also pass a new law to ban the sale of ninja and samurai swords, she said.

Mrs Kanda, whose son Ronan was killed by a boy who had bought a machete and ninja sword set online using a fake name, said she did not believe the ban would have much effect.

The Home Office said in addition to Tuesday’s new knife legislation, there was a plan to ban ninja swords.
