Samurai were feudal knights of Japan. They followed the warrior code of Bushido with such unwavering loyalty they would rather kill themselves then dishonor the code they lived by. Bushido is a set of rules that the Samurai live by. Above all else they must be loyal to their master, have the greatest of courage, honorable
