The term "Samurai" means "to serve the nobility." As a warrior class highly trained in unarmed combat and Kendo (sword fighting), the Samurai pledged their loyalty to the noble master they served, or to the Emperor. They eventually rose to power economically, and in political affairs, gaining great influence as advisors and protectors of various Emperors throughout the centuries. Many of the Samurai worked as regional magistrates, helping to settle disputes, enforcing the laws, and keeping the peace. Although the Samurai developed a strict philosophy of honor and code of conduct, which heavily influenced the Japanese culture at large, they held elevated rights and authority in early times to execute anyone who showed them disrespect.

Answer 1: SAmurais served their Shogun. A shogun was the military leader and as the years went on shogans became more incharge then the emperors. Answer 2: Samurai didn't serve the shogun, they served the daimyo, the Japanese lords. Then the daimyo would give the shogun loyalty and the service of some of the daimyo's samurai, in return for land which they gave some to the samurai. The shogun has (for example) 3 lots of land - A, B, C. Two lots of samurai -A,B - serve the daimyo. The shogun gives land lot B and C to the daimyo in return for samurai lot B. The daimyo gives land lot C to the samurai in return for their service. So even though samurai lot B 'serves' the shogun, they actually do that only because they serve the daimyo.
