What are three ways a samurai could lose honor?
Depending on their status and power, they would be hunted down, arrested and beheaded. To die with your arms tied behind your back, was considered an extremely dishonorable death, reserved only for brigands and thieves. See, the way animals are slaughtered in east Asia, is generally with a lightning fast lopping off of the head. Even though Buddhism forbids the consumption of meat, periods of famine or political tyranny, forced many in east Asia to seek more exotic forms of sustenance. By exotic I mean, things such as rats, goose embryos, dogs, because it was an "emergency," because they went hungry, many places in east Asia developed a taste for those animals. Personally I don't think people are supposed to eat them; in east Asia they only ate them because things were terrible. Its similar to the situation with black people; ever see that episode of "The Boondocks" called "The Itis?" It talks about how black people eat unhealthily because during their slave days, slave masters would give them the parts of the pig they themselves would not eat, and the reason, pig parts in black cousine are literally drowned in grease, is to make it edible. It became tradition, a part of black identity, however like the episode's message said, people are not supposed to be eating that, any more than Chinese should be eating goose embryos. Their ancestors ate dogs, and rats, and goose embryos because they were starving, and their families were starving.
Brief history lesson aside, the way you slaughter animals in east Asia, is with one clean, decisive swipe, so the animal does not suffer, to at least follow SOME of Buddhism, if the convention of veganism can not be followed. Buddhists, by the way, are 100% vegetarian, the strictest Buddhists, although, the majority are ovo-lacto vegetarians. Whatever the case getting to the point; the idea of hunching over and waiting to get your head lopped off, was similar to the idea, of lopping off the head of a pig people were going to be eating. That is, to have your head cut off with your arms tied behind your back, sent the message that "we will end your life, the way the life of an animal is ended, not the way the life of a warrior is ended." If a Samurai behaved dishonorably, that was his punishment; he would not be allowed to take part in a battle where the odds against him are hopeless, that way he dies honorably, nor would he be allowed to commit sepuku. He would simply be hunched over, and have his head lopped off, as if he was an animal.

What are the most important things for a samurai?
the samurai way of life is bushido, which means 'way of the samurai'. these were also rules they had to follow. if they didn't, they were forced to commit seppuku meaning 'cutting the belly', or better known as suicide. (they believed their heart was in their stomach, so cutting it would kill them. it seemed to work for them, so I'll let them be. :] ) hope that helps! =)
The unwritten code of moral principles regulating the actions of the Japanese knighthood, or Samurai; the chivalry of Japan. Unformulated, Bushido was and still is the animating spirit, the motor force of our country. Inazo Nitobé.
Who is more deadlier a ninja or a samurai?
In the right hands both were incredibly deadly. I'd give the "edge" to the katana, as a broad sword, while powerful, takes longer to reverse direction.
A katana and/or wakizashi in the hands of a trained samurai could gut and filet you in seconds. Being the lighter weapon, a katana is easier to reverse direction, engage multiple thrusts, and are incredibly sharp.
Samurai swords are seen by many as the greatest swords ever made, mostly due to their unique construction, deadly curved blade, incredible sharpness, and high level of training that the samurai received.

Who will win a battle a ninja or a samurai?
based on movies ninjas are deadly and silently can break into a house. They are built for speed, They can use all parts of their body as a weapon. But their most deadliest weapon is the ninjato (sword).
Whilst the samurai has a variety of different weapons for different uses such as the wakizashi (sword) for short ranges and the bow and arrow for long ranges. Their armour
is so powerful that even a arrow cant get threw it!
therefore for this information i am sticking with the samurai because it is capable of all sorts of combats with armour whilst the ninja has no armour and is only a specialist at only close combat.

What does a samurai do other than fight?
Samurai were soldiers for their Shoguns (lords of the Japanese feudal period). But, they did not fight 24/7/365. They obviously trained between combat or conflicts, but they were also husbands and fathers, teachers and craftsmen, artists, writers, and poets. The Samurai epitomized single combat with the ubiquitous katana (or nihontō, the older form and name given to exclusively Japanese blades to discriminate them from western swords), and typically two other blades, the tanto (a dagger), and the wakisachi or kodachi (a short sword or long dagger similar in length to the Highland dirk).
Samurai trained with masters as apprentices, and during the period between when they had finished training to when they were accepted into a lord's house, they carried the designation Ronin. Ronin were also masterless Samurai who had been de-privileged by their Shogun, or one whose Shogun had fallen in battle or lost his position due to a defeat in combat. Ronin often became wanderers, working as migrants or traveling craftsmen, but also hired out for personal security sometimes for traveling merchants.
The Samurai culture was dominated by Bushido, a chivalrous system of honor and integrity. Bushido carried nearly the weight of law in most of life, and in some ways more closely resembled a religion or philosophy.
