The daimyos don't exist in modern times, but they were around in feudal Japan. The daimyos were their word for "lords" or "nobles". Basically to say, daimyos today really don't have much power and therefore aren't important. (though they were in feudal times...)

The clan leaders (daimyos) were the highest class other than the Imperial family.

Only Samurai and Daimyos had the right to tax. This gave the military elite more power in government.
Nobody. If they have more power, then they cannot have less. And if they have less, they cannot have more. So nobody can have more AND less.
They were the provincial rulers of feudal japan, similar to European Lords. They came in many different ranks and served under the shogun. They paid samurai underlings with rice or land, to fight for them (master-less samurai were looked down upon, and called 'ronin'.) They were themselves samurai the same way, barons, dukes, and other lords were knights, and Daimyos were supposed to follow the code of Bushido.
The rulers during the first Japan hierarchy were named the Daimyos and were influened by the Feudalist era. Samurais were used by the Diamyos to help with economic and social stability.
The Japanese feudal system put peasants at the bottom, the daimyos or merchant middle class in the middle, and the warrior shoguns at the top.
The Tokugawa shoguns viewed large castles as a potential threat to their authority because they could serve as strongholds for powerful daimyos, leading to challenges against the central government. These formidable structures could facilitate rebellion or insurrection, as they provided military power and resources to local lords. To mitigate this risk, the shogunate implemented policies that limited the construction of large castles and enforced restrictions on the daimyos' military capabilities. This helped maintain control and stability in the feudal system.
