How were samurais chosen?

Samurais were typically chosen based on their noble lineage, as they were part of the warrior class in feudal Japan. Many samurais were born into samurai families, inheriting their status and responsibilities. Additionally, skill in Martial Arts, loyalty to a lord, and the ability to uphold bushido, the samurai code of conduct, were crucial factors in their selection and promotion within the ranks. In some cases, talented warriors from lower classes could be elevated to samurai status through notable deeds in battle or service to a daimyo (feudal lord).
