Whom did the samurai serve?

The term "Samurai" means "to serve the nobility." As a warrior class highly trained in unarmed combat and Kendo (sword fighting), the Samurai pledged their loyalty to the noble master they served, or to the Emperor. They eventually rose to power economically, and in political affairs, gaining great influence as advisors and protectors of various Emperors throughout the centuries. Many of the Samurai worked as regional magistrates, helping to settle disputes, enforcing the laws, and keeping the peace. Although the Samurai developed a strict philosophy of honor and code of conduct, which heavily influenced the Japanese culture at large, they held elevated rights and authority in early times to execute anyone who showed them disrespect.
