You see, the samurai were a highly trained class of noble warriors who fought for land-owning lords in Japan. While there were skilled warriors in Japan for many centuries, the highly militarized culture and many wars of the 12th century turned the highest class of warriors into a new social class of noble, intellectual masters of martial arts.
Between 9th and 12th centuries.

The Samurai were heavily influenced by the Chinese Chan(禅) sect of Buddhism. It was introduced to Japan in the 12th-century, around the same time that the Samurai class came into being. Chan is better known by its Japanese pronunciation, Zen. Unlike Pure Land Buddhism, another popular sect in Japan, which relies on saviors like Bodhisattvas, Zen emphasizes meditation and personal salvation. I'm sure many samurai venerated the Buddha or Shinto deities (given Japan was a very religious culture), but Zen influenced them more than any other spiritual path.
look here: http://judoinfo.com/samurai.htm Thats unknown, as Samurai didn't just spring up, like all the Samurai were just killed. No, they did develop over a long time. Its like evolution, its hard to say when a species changes to another, so nobody were the first samurai.
Possibly the 12th ruler of Japan. No fixed date on his rule.
The Japanese warriors, the samurai came into existence during the years of the 12th century. This was when landlords hired private warriors for the protection of their farms and land. The private warriors were called Samurai. When two clans fought they usually fought for pieces of land. Hi dan!
