Daimyo
I believe you are referring to daimyo. Daimyo, which is translated to "great names", were the great landholders of Sengoku Japan. They evolved from the shugo of the Kamakura age in Japan.
Shoguns made all of the Daimyo's family move to a certain area. The Daimyo's Samurai were responsible for the Daimyo's land. The family had to stay in the area forever. The Daimyo could leave every other year to check on their land. The Shogun wouldn't let all the Daimyo leave at once because he was scared that they'd revolt against him. He made the family stay when the Daimyo left to check on his land. They were "hostages."
A lot of samurai originated from many counties in Japan, I believe their were just about 7 counties. Samurai are japanese warriors, basically, they fought for daimyo the head, leader, or ruler of a clan. A daimyo would eventually come to the rank of shogun.... The difference between daimyo and shogun, is that daimyo are rulers of clan, while shogun are basically the head samurai of japan.
because they just were. they were the japanese
(in feudal Japan) one of the great lords who were vassals of the shogun.
When Japan's political unity disintegrated during the twelfth century, the Daimyo, or warlords, controlled the country. The top of the feudal power structure in Japan during this period placed the Shogun at the top of the hierarchy, with the Daimyo directly beneath them. The Daimyo hired Samurai to control their lands, giving payment in land or food.
The shogun was the main "advisor" of the emperor. In truth the shogun had all of the control, as the emperor was just a figurehead. The daimyo were provincial rulers who had control over small amounts of territory and at different times had largely independent power.
