daimyo (prince) or shogun (military ruler). Armed with traditional weapons like the bow, spear (yari), and katana, samurai were renowned for their combat skills.
Some samurai wielded the nodachi, a long two-handed sword, making them formidable fighters on the battlefield. Others mastered the naginata, combining the power of a sword with the defensive capabilities of a spear. Alongside samurai, lighter infantry units called ashigaru supported battles, often equipped with matchlock guns (arquebuses), which became widespread in the mid-16th century.
