Samurai were and officer caste and military nobles of medieval and early-modern Japan.
In Japanese, they are usually referred to as bushi or buke.
Samurai became synonymous with bushi by the end of the 12th century, and the word was closely associated with the warrior class. The samurai were, most of the times, associated with a clan and their lord, and were received training as officers in military tactics and strategy. Samurai were less than 10% of then Japan's population in number, but their teachings can still be found today in everyday life and in modern Japanese martial arts.
Samurai developed their own culture that influenced Japanese culture as a whole. .
Samurai, priests and members of aristocracy had a very high literacy rate in kanji.
Some samurai had even a personal library that held texts on strategy, the science of warfare, and other important documents.
Usually a samurai was named by combining one kanji from his father or grandfather and one new kanji.
The most iconic Japanese weapon is the katana; It is characterized by its particular appearance: a single-edged, curved blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip for grabbing with two hands.
The first use of "katana" (gatana) as a word to describe a long sword that was different from a tachi occurs in the Kamakura Period (1185–1333).
The katana became very popular amongst samurai due to the changing nature of close-combat warfare. The quicker draw of the sword was well suited to combat where victory depended heavily on short response times.
The katana was often paired with a smaller companion sword, such as a wakizashi, or it could also be worn with the tantō, a smaller, similarly shaped dagger. The pairing of a katana with a smaller sword is called the daishō.
The katana is generally defined as the standard sized, moderately curved (as opposed to the older "tachi" style featuring more curvature) Japanese sword with a blade length greater than 60 cm ( 23 1⁄2 inches).It is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard (tsuba) and long grip to accommodate two hands.

More youkai: demons, spirits and gods of Japanese folklore.
A description of Yokai.
妖怪(ようかい)は、日本で伝承される民間信仰において、人間の理解を超える奇怪で異常な現象や、あるいはそれらを起こす、不可思議な力を持つ非日常的・非科学的な存在のこと。妖(あやかし)または物の怪(もののけ)、魔物(まもの)とも呼ばれる。
妖怪は日本古来のアニミズムや八百万の神の思想に深く根ざしており、その思想が森羅万象に神の存在を見出す一方で、否定的に把握された存在や現象は妖怪になりうるという表裏一体の関係がなされてきた
Yōkai are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits and demons in Japanese folklore. Yōkai range diversely from the malevolent to the mischievous, or occasionally bring good fortune to those who encounter them. Often they possess animal features, other times they can appear mostly human, some look like inanimate objects and others have no discernible shape. Yōkai usually have spiritual or supernatural power, with shapeshifting being one of the most common. Yōkai that have the ability to shapeshift are called bakemono / obake.

An armour (spelled armor in the US) is a protective covering that is used to prevent damage from being inflicted to an object, individual, or vehicle by weapons or projectiles, usually during combat, or from damage caused by a potentially dangerous environment or action.
The word "armour" began to appear in the Middle Ages as a derivative of Old French. It is dated from 1297 as a "mail, defensive covering worn in combat". The word originates from the Old French armure, itself derived from the Latin armatura meaning "arms and/or equipment", with the root armare meaning "arms or gear".
Armour has been used throughout recorded history. It has been made from a variety of materials, beginning with rudimentary leather protection and evolving through mail and metal plate into today's modern composites.
Significant factors in the development of armour include the economic and technological necessities of its production. For instance, plate armour first appeared in Medieval Europe when water-powered trip hammers made the formation of plates faster and cheaper.
Well-known armour types in European history include the lorica hamata, lorica squamata, and the lorica segmentata of the Roman legions, the mail hauberk of the early medieval age, and the full steel plate harness worn by later medieval and renaissance knights, and breast and back plates worn by heavy cavalry in several European countries until the first year of World War I (1914–15). The samurai warriors of feudal Japan utilised many types of armour for hundreds of years up to the 19th century.
