Are you training a full team of uchigatanas together? You could try equipping them with catapults. Uchigatanas are actually pretty useful. One of my favourite combinations is putting them with wakizashis and lots of long range troops. It's gratifying to see them knock out enemy troops even before the battle starts. Not to mention, they don't do too badly in night battles too.

Yari are always slow to train, but once they get to higher levels (can't remember off-hand sorry. maybe level 40+?), they'll be able to one-shot enemies properly. They're no way as slow to train as Iwatooshi though. When my yari couldn't one-shot enemies, I'd group them with oodachi, or swords that are capable of equipping long range troops.
