Samurai (侍), usually referred to in Japanese as bushi or buke (武家), were the military nobility of medieval and early-modern Japan.
A knight is a person granted an honorary title of knighthood by a monarch or other political leader for service to the monarch or country, especially in a military capacity. Historically, in Europe, knighthood has been conferred upon mounted warriors.

In Japan women were equal to men, thus a women could become a samurai. In Europe Women weren't treated equal to men, thus they couldn't become knights. Samurai soldiers slept with their swords because they were scared of their wives, European soldiers didn't.
Knights existed primarily in medieval Europe from the 9th to the 15th centuries, playing a significant role in feudal society and warfare. Samurai were prominent in Japan from the late 12th century until the 19th century, serving as warrior nobility during the feudal period. Both groups were characterized by their codes of honor—chivalry for knights and bushido for samurai—reflecting their cultural values and martial traditions.
Oh, dude, like, only knights in Europe were known for jousting tournaments and wearing those shiny armor suits, while Japanese samurai were all about their katanas and honor codes. So, yeah, knights were all about chivalry and stuff, while samurai were more into bushido and serving their lords. But hey, at the end of the day, they both rocked some pretty cool swords, am I right?
Both European medieval knights and Japanese samurai warriors pledged oaths of loyalty to their respective lords or masters. This feudal loyalty was central to their roles, as knights served noble lords in exchange for land and protection, while samurai adhered to the Bushido code, which emphasized honor, duty, and allegiance to their daimyo. These oaths underscored their commitment to serve and protect their leaders, often at the cost of their own lives. The honor associated with these vows was crucial to both warrior cultures.
