Japanese Samurai
Posted April 30, 2009

According to the Japanese who was the greatest samurai?
In Japanese History who is classed as being the best samurai? Just a little project I am working on so any help is appreciated 
If there is not one I wouldn't mind anyone famous skilled in sword training.
Thanks
Also, who was classed as the greatest martial arts teacher in Japan?
Well, actually one survey (Which Samurai you like and respect the most) was conducted with Japanese people between 20s to 50s.
Top 5 answers were:
1. Ieyasu Tokugawa
2. Masamune Date
3. Nobunaga Oda
4. Kenshin Uesugi
5. Shingen Takeda
>Also, who was classed as the greatest martial arts teacher in Japan?
This must be Mr Jigoro Kano, who was the founder of Judo.
He is still called with respect that " Father of Judo" or " Fater of Sports" in Japan.
