I generally understand how when using Inappropriately Sized Weapons for using weapons larger than for your size incurs the -2 to attack which seems to be the intent of the RAW. However as I study it further I am wondering if this works both ways.
For example, lets say my Ninja is a Aasimar who of course is medium size. Does the character still incur the -2 penalty if the weapon is smaller?
If the same weapon is smaller is it conceivable that the weapon in the hands of that medium size character is now or could be considered a light exotic weapon? I ask this because the wording seems to suggest it.
Also although I know currently that Pazio in the Playtests are saying that katanas are the equivalent of bastard swords I also know in real life that they can vary drastically in weight any where from 1 pound to 6 pounds but the way they were constructed also made feel as they were light. Is the katana's considered light exotic weapons or just exotic?

If I understand the question correctly, yes and yes, a Small katana is a light weapon with a -2 penalty to attacks for a Medium-sized wielder.
