Well exactly, there is no reason that a kendo bokuto is the length it is, other than that is the length we use for kendo

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know what the size of our standard bokuto are in shaku and sun?

Kendo bokuto have a 2.35 shaku blade with an 8 sun tsuka. The blade length is the maximum permitted (for shinken) under an Edo shogunate law.
