If you want to do something more with them, I have some ideas. First off, I think we should steer well clear of any shields; it's just not nation appropriate. Nets... I suppose. However, I'm more inclined to go with dual wielding (give them two wakazashi or something) and/or give them a harpoon. It's a one-shot javelin weapon that entangles it's target. Currently it's only used by LA Atlantis' Seal Hunter (that nations chaff), but when I went to the wikipedia page for Wokou it had "Japanese Whaling" under the related links so I figure that's justification enough.
