Leeks are long and the most popular vegetable in Japan, it's used a sword because that's just part of japan humor, like using a large radish as a dong.

Young Samurais would often train with leeks before using a sword.

Farfetch'd has a leek because he will be boiled alive with it as seasoning for his tender duck meats.

Leeks are funny to the jappos because of the folk medicine for cold that requires shoving one up your ass. That's it.

The OS-tan used them because of some sort of pun where the name of one of Windows' built-in defense thingers sounded like their word for leek. So they carried leeks around.

I have no idea what Miku's doing with one.
