Yes Samurai are like the equivalent to European knights.
The Japanese counterparts of medieval knights were the samurai. They were warriors who served noble families and were known for their loyalty, honor code (bushido), and skill in combat. Samurai played a significant role in Japanese society, similar to how knights did in medieval Europe.

Knights and Samurai
The difference between a shogun and a samurai is like the difference between a king and a knight.
No one really. Samurai were more akin to Knights in medieval times, fighting for honor/ their kingdom. NINJAS on the other hand were often hired as assassins by the wealthy.
A samurai is comparable to a medieval knight not just anyone can be one they have to be a descendant from another samurai and they have to train for years. A regular soldier is just anyone who was inlisted or joined the military.
Knights were medieval heavy cavalry who provided their own mounts, armor and weapons and were often lower nobility, with lands and properties to support them. Samurai were medieval Japanese nobility who served as warriors, both mounted and on foot.
