Samurai

Samurai are the guardians of the Land of Iron. Not much is known about them except that they are very strong according to Ōnoki the Tsuchikage.

Appearance
All of the Samurai shown thus far have been seen wearing heavy plate-armor akin to traditional Samurai. They also wear helmets with face masks similar to those worn my Amegakure shinobi, which appear to change by rank.

Like real Samurai, they are armed with Katanas. However, the number of blades worn by a single warrior is unusual, going as high as four. It is unknown how so many blades can be utilized in battle, although a style similar to that of Killer Bee, or other chakra-enhanced methods could be used.

Known Samurai

 * Mifune: General

Trivia

 * Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju wore samurai like armor in the past, despite being ninja.
 * Despite being samurai, the warriors shown have worn their swords edge-down (like shinobi) instead of edge-up, as was customary for real Samurai.
