Yes, Japanese daimyo were somewhat analogous to knights in Medieval Europe, as both were powerful feudal lords with land and military obligations. Daimyo commanded samurai, similar to how knights served their noble lords in battle. While the cultural contexts and social structures differed significantly, both played crucial roles in their respective feudal systems, governing land and maintaining loyalty through a code of honor and service.
