European knights and Japanese samurai were both elite warrior classes in their respective societies, serving as military leaders and protectors of their realms. Both groups adhered to a code of conduct: chivalry for knights and bushido for samurai, emphasizing virtues such as loyalty, honor, and bravery. Additionally, they were often granted land or titles in exchange for their service, and both played crucial roles in the feudal systems of Europe and Japan. Their training and combat skills were highly specialized, reflecting their importance in maintaining social order and defending their territories.

Female samurai, known as onna-bugeisha, had some rights and privileges similar to their male counterparts, including the ability to own property and engage in combat. However, their social status and roles were often limited by the patriarchal structure of feudal Japan, which prioritized male samurai. While they could attain a degree of respect and influence, the overall societal expectations and opportunities for female samurai were not entirely equal to those of male samurai.
During the Mongol invasions of Japan in the 13th century, the Japanese received significant help from typhoons, famously known as "kamikaze" or "divine winds," which destroyed much of the Mongol fleet. The first invasion in 1274 was met with a storm that severely damaged the Mongol ships, and the second invasion in 1281 faced a similar fate, leading to substantial losses for the Mongol forces. Additionally, the Japanese samurai demonstrated strong resistance and tactical defense strategies, contributing to their success in repelling the invasions.

Both Japanese and European feudalism were hierarchical systems that structured society around land ownership and loyalty. In Japan, the samurai served the daimyo in exchange for land and protection, while in Europe, knights served lords under a similar feudal contract. However, a key difference lies in the cultural context: Japanese feudalism emphasized bushido, a code of honor for samurai, while European feudalism was more influenced by chivalric codes and the Christian Church. Additionally, Japanese feudalism was more centralized under the shogunate, whereas European feudalism was often fragmented among numerous competing lords.

Knights and Samurai have many similar characteristics because they performed similar functions at similar levels of technology. Their functions were to be on call to fight, to do so with sword and other weapons while using protective armor.
