Why do samurai become samurai?

Samurai is a class like caste and it's hereditary. Therefore, the sons of farmers were destined to be farmers and samurai's son were samurai. However, there were rare cases for some to be in samurai class. One is to show great talents in swordsmanship and others include becoming great scholars. It's very rare, though. Inside the samurai class, there was also hierarchy, and it does not always mean upgrading the status if one becomes samurai from the other classes as many samurais were poor. It was more like hereditary occupations. It was hereditary, but sometimes someone who was in favour with the higher authority could become a Samurai such as the English sailor Williams Adams who sailed to Japan but later became a Samurai actually being a samurai took many talents including heredity but that doesn't mean your destined to become a farmer. you see Japanese society was broken down in classes. durning the time off the samurai the shogun was like the "lord" or king. after him was the damiyo or someone who does the kings work(sometimes!) and the samurai. if you worked up in ranks you could have a chance to be a samurai. to be a samurai took many years of dedication and training. if caught in a dirty deed a samurai would commit ritual suicide to peserve his personal honor. At mid 1500 the separation law came. Before it anyone who could afford training could become a samurai, after that you had to be the son of a samurai.
