What class is the samurai in?

The samurai were in the warrior class. This was during the rise and era of warrior dominance, right after the decline of imperial power. The Japanese court at Nara (which developed from the borrowing of Chinese political systems) grew in power because the court officials had gained enough power to take control over most of the imperial system. However, most of the people didn't like the rulers of the court because of their excessive luxury and arrogance in helping themselves rather than the people. Pursuit of land estates by elite families in provinces led to the development of little kingdoms/states. Local lords became political, warrior, law administering leaders that collected revenue for themselves and not the court. These lords, also known as bushi, built up own armies out of mounted troops called the samurai. Samurai and bushi developed a newer social class where they devoted their lives to sharpening their martial skills to defend their kingdom while depending upon peasants to supply them with food and other necessities.

How did samurai became a samurai?

The Samurai class developed through various stages beginning with the reformation period of the mid 7th century AD, up to their end in 1877. The term "Samurai" means "to serve nobility." Initially, the wealthy land owners of the 7th century needed protection, so they paid skilled warriors (sometimes their own relatives or just hired swordsmen) to defend their land and wealth. This lowly warrior class lived by a motto to serve their lords, and fight to the death. By the 900's, the ruling class and Emperor of Japan had lost much power in rural areas, and the Samurai took over to become a more powerful and prominent warrior class. By 1100, the Samurai also held some political offices and virtually ran the country by military rule. As clans of royal families fought for power, their own warrior class was most likely made up of family members trained to be Samurai. In the later part of the 12th century AD, the ruling class instituted the title of "Shogunate," where the "Shogun" (Military Generals) held ever changing power as a military dictators. The Shogun often fought to put down rebellion of other Samurai clans and tribes vying for power over Japan. Over the next several centuries, various clans gained and lost control of the country with their own Shogun and Samurai being in charge until the decline of the Samurai and Shogunate during the Meiji Restoration of the mid 19th century. Most of the Samurai were likely groomed from the children born in each clan's village, and trained in horseback riding, archery, and swordsmanship to become warriors, and Samurai serving their lords. The Samurai of the Emperor where likely relatives of the ruling family.
