The Samurai's leaders, that is, their employers and masters, were the landowners, mainly, who carried the title, "Daimyo". In the 1600's, roughly, the various daimyo (This is a Japanese term, so no "s" at the end) finally supported and mostly obeyed the Shogun, who had the all the power, but still reported to the Emperor, if commanded to. In that time, the Shoguns were in the Tokugawa family.

Some Samurai no longer had a job and were called "Ronin"; they had no master, but did what jobs they could find, hoping to find a new master eventually.
