Samurai were the military nobility in Japan for over 1000 years. They were to live their lives according to an ethic code that emphasized loyalty, self-discipline, and respectful behavior. They used a wide range of weapons in their battles, including bows and spears, but their most famous weapon was the sword.
Samurai were abolished in 1868, but they have remained popular in Japan and the West through movies and video games. They are especially popular in RPG, strategy, action and fighting games as both heroes and enemies.
