Now that's a good question.
I'm not sure that a baton itself would be illegal. Otherwise it might be illegal to carry a baseball bat around. However that device could be "specifically named" in the city ordinances. Also there is the issue of concealment. I don't believe it would matter what the weapon is, if your hiding it, you'll find yourself on an airplane back to your native country.
The best thing to do is to ask the Akihabara Popo.
