* anyone that follows the samirai code wich iscalled Bushido which means the way of the warrior. It was their way of life. The Samurai's loyalty to the emperor were unsurpassed. They were trustworthy and honest. They lived simple lives with no interest in riches and material things, but rather in honor and pride. They were men of true strength. Samurai had no fear of death.
