Samurai began to emerge as a distinct warrior class in Japan during the late Heian period (794-1185). Their rise was largely due to the need for military power to protect land and maintain order amid increasing conflict among noble families. By the Kamakura period (1185-1333), samurai had established their dominance, leading to the establishment of the first shogunate, which marked the beginning of feudal Japan. Their influence continued for centuries, shaping Japanese culture and governance.
