"Female samurai (Onna-Bushi) were women warriors in Japanese history, part of the samurai class. Although not as common as male samurai, female samurai did exist and played important roles in certain historical periods of Japan, especially during times of war.

In history, female samurai primarily came from samurai families, where they were trained to fight and protect their families and territories. They were taught martial arts and combat skills, including the use of swords, spears, and bows. These women warriors often participated in battles when their family or domain was threatened, particularly during wars such as the Boshin War or conflicts between samurai clans.

One of the reasons for the existence of female samurai was the need for protection during times of war. In samurai families, women were not only responsible for managing the household but also played the role of protectors when necessary. Some famous female samurai, such as Nakano Takeko, led female combat units in battles, demonstrating extraordinary courage.

However, female samurai were not widespread. They only appeared in special circumstances, and for most of the time, combat was primarily the duty of men. Because female samurai were not widely recognized in society, they were less documented in historical records compared to male warriors. Yet, through stories and legends, the image of the female samurai has endured and become a symbol of strength, courage, and loyalty in Japanese culture.
There is no place for black samurai anywhere in history."
