The concept of the ninja, or "shinobi," originated in Japan during the feudal era, primarily serving as covert agents and mercenaries. They were trained in espionage, sabotage, guerrilla warfare, and assassinations, filling a role that samurai did not typically engage in due to their code of honor. The need for stealthy tactics in political intrigue and warfare led to the development of this unique class of warriors, who operated in secrecy and were often employed by feudal lords. Over time, the mystique surrounding ninjas grew, leading to their portrayal in popular culture as skilled martial artists and stealthy assassins.

Which came first Ninja or samurai?

Samurai emerged first in Japanese history, with their roots tracing back to the Heian period (794-1185), serving as warrior nobility. Ninjas, or shinobi, developed later, primarily during the Sengoku period (1467-1603), as covert agents specializing in espionage and guerrilla tactics. While both played significant roles in Japan's feudal society, the samurai predates the ninja by several centuries.
