The Japanese equivalent to a knight would most likely be a Samurai
A samurai is a type of Japanese warrior. The winner would depend on the individuals and their abilities.
The danger level of a samurai or a knight is subjective and heavily depends on their individual skills, training, and weaponry. Both the samurai and knight were skilled warriors who had different techniques and combat styles. It is difficult to definitively say that one is more dangerous than the other as it would vary on a case-by-case basis.
The Samurai were Japanese, not Chinese. The samurai ended about 1873, which would have been the Qing dynasty.
Stretching concepts a little, a Feudal warrior of a private band was known as a Samurai which is both singular and plural, like Kamikaze. The noun Samurai also refers to his special type of sword, but does not mean ( Sword). I guess Samurai would come the closest to the Western concept of Knight or Miltary adventurer of a somewhat clandestine nature- as the Samurai were.
The samurai. While both were disciplined, fanatical warriors, the Samurai's steel weapons would outclass the Greek's bronze.
Quite simply they aren't, it was just built for a differant purpose European swords are forged to be strong and sturdy, to cause blunt trauma and to stab and pierce heavy armour. The Japanese forged their swords to cut and slash, which would be useless against a 13th century and beyond knight.

No. The samurai were a warrior class and were a cut above your common foot soldier. You would have to be trained to become one.
In the mid-evil time like the Saxons and Germanic tribes, the Japanese developed an advanced feudal system. On the Bushi fighting scale the Samurai was the warrior before you became a Samurai your title would be Ninja the lowest rank on the Bushi fighting scale. Samurai usually always served under a shogon who was their master, and would send Samurai off to fight other tribes and factions in mid-evil Japan. there were also Daimyos who would hire Samurai for protection of their estates and families. then there were also Ronin who were "Masterless Samurai" Ronin were first Samurai but if a Samurai's Shogon or Daimyo dies they are no longer their vassels and are free to raom sworn to no-one. Ronin were usually Mercs. The Samurai were used as the perfect fighting machine and were basically in a sense Japanese Knights or vassels.

The purpose of a samurai wearing a mask is to make them more fearsome so people would be afraid of them when they are in a battlefield.
