Thanks Spartans.
I'm a big Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive fan am aware of the shout out.
In the halo story though, were there ever Spartans who carried out ops in Hayabusa armour with katana strapped to their backs?
I always thought of this reason:
[i]The Hayabusa armor bears a resemblance to feudal-era samurai. The armor is named after Ryu Hayabusa, protagonist of the Ninja Gaiden series and DOA Combatant. The helmet is almost an exact copy of the "ninja of the future" costume in Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox. Bungie may have put Hayabusa armor as a way of saying thanks to Team Ninja for putting Nicole-458 into Dead or Alive 4. Team Ninja, the developers of the Ninja Gaiden series and Dead or Alive series, are also mentioned in the credits for Halo 3.[/i]

Hayabusa armor was a sort of "shout out" to Ninja Gaiden, and other than the little description it has in the armor selection tab, I don't believe it is canon.
