No, but some earned the right to fight for the shogan late in the feudal era.
A Daimyo was a powerful feudal lord in Japan who ruled over a specific territory and commanded samurai warriors. The samurai served the Daimyo, providing military service and loyalty in exchange for land, protection, and a stipend. This relationship was central to the feudal system in Japan, where the loyalty of samurai was crucial for the stability and power of the Daimyo. In essence, the Daimyo and samurai were bound by mutual obligations of service and protection.
During Japan's feudal period, the main role of the samurai was to serve as warrior nobles, providing military service to their lords, known as daimyo. They were skilled in martial arts and adhered to a strict code of conduct known as bushido, which emphasized loyalty, honor, and discipline. In addition to their military duties, samurai also held administrative roles and were responsible for maintaining order and governance in their domains. Ultimately, they were integral to the social and political structure of feudal Japan.
A lot of samurai originated from many counties in Japan, I believe their were just about 7 counties. Samurai are japanese warriors, basically, they fought for daimyo the head, leader, or ruler of a clan. A daimyo would eventually come to the rank of shogun.... The difference between daimyo and shogun, is that daimyo are rulers of clan, while shogun are basically the head samurai of japan.
Samurai were from Japan, and the samurai sword is from Japan.

The Samurai
They both used the feudal system. The feudal system is a kind of culture in which the knights (in Japan, Samurai) owned most of the land and were responsible to the King (in Japan, Emperor), and basically ruled over the peasants.
The Samurai were Lords Guard in ancient feudal Japan. So they would have worked in the castle or home of the Lord providing protection.

A Japanese feudal lord is called a daimyo. Daimyo were powerful landholding nobles who ruled over territories in feudal Japan. They maintained their own samurai warriors and owed allegiance to the shogun, the supreme military leader of Japan.
