A lot of samurai originated from many counties in Japan, I believe their were just about 7 counties. Samurai are japanese warriors, basically, they fought for daimyo the head, leader, or ruler of a clan. A daimyo would eventually come to the rank of shogun.... The difference between daimyo and shogun, is that daimyo are rulers of clan, while shogun are basically the head samurai of japan.


What did Japanese samurai people use the katana sword for?

In the mid-evil time like the Saxons and Germanic tribes, the Japanese developed an advanced feudal system.

Samurai usually always served under a shogon who was their master, and would send Samurai off to fight other tribes and factions in mid-evil Japan. there were also Daimyos who would hire Samurai for protection of their estates and families. then there were also Ronin who were "Masterless Samurai" Ronin were first Samurai but if a Samurai's Shogon or Daimyo dies they are no longer their vassels and are free to raom sworn to no-one. Ronin were usually Mercs. The Samurai were used as the perfect fighting machine and were basically in a sense Japanese Knights or vassels.


Was there left handed samurai?

Of course there were Japanese people that were 'left-handed' some of these people were bound to be brought up as Samurai. Whether ancient Samurai training permitted left handed people is a different story. Im sure that they would have, you would want your soldiers to be able to fight to the best of their ability, not restrict their skill.

What is the difference between a ninja and samurai?

The ninja is a spy and assassin and works through stealth, misdirection and blending into the surroundings. They killed with poison and other weapons. The samurai is a warrior who's primary weapon is the sword. They lived by the Code of Bushido and were honorable in their means and methods. They would kill themselves if they brought dishonor to their master, themselves or their family. If a ninja could overcome a samurai he would take his sword, simply because they are better. So ninja swords are better than samurai swords.
