-Samurai-


Samurai is the term for the military nobility of pre-industrial Japan. The samurai teachings can still be found today in modern day society with the martial art, Kendo (way of the sword).

They are also heroes and enemies in many computer games, and can be found especially in RPG, strategy, action, adventure, and fighting game genres. Some of the games are Kessen, Black & White 2, Age of Empires and Civilization IV. They also are popular to be included in movies and cartoon such as Samurai Jack, the Last Samurai, Azumi, 13 Assasins and the 47 Ronin.

Kenjutsu (the art of the sword) and Kendo (way of the sword) are very synonyms for Samurai. The sword that they are using are called "katana". Katana has historically been associated with the samurai of feudal Japan, and has become reowned for its sharpness and cutting ability.

This is the anatomy of a katana..
