They acted as the emperor's commander.
ok as far as i know the answer above inst true i am trying to figure out this answer too but according my hw passage it says "over time, there were more and more samurai warriors. They formed their own clans. each clan pledged loyalty to a warlord, or daimyo. small wars broke out between different warlords. in time, the minamoto clan became the most powerful. in 1192, the emperor gave the title of shogun to the leader of the Minamoto clan. he became the supreme ruler of all japan. he set up a shogunate, or military dynasty.
In the 1200s the mongols under Kublai khan tried to invade japan twice. they failed both times. for the next 300 years few foreigners came to japan. then in 1543 several Portuguese ships landed on japans coast. trade grew between east and west. thousands of Japanese became Christians. in 1603 Tokugawa Ieyasu became shogun. to end fighting among samurai bands, he divided japan into 250 regions. the daimyo of each region swore loyalty to him. a time of peace and prosperity began. at the same time the Tokugawa got rid of foreign influences. they feared the Europeans might try to conquer japan. they outlawed Christianity and forced Europeans to leave. by 1638 they had closed japans ports. japan was cut off from the outside world for the next 200 years.
