You should know that it took all of my Jedi training not to answer that question.
PS, I don't think the Hero should be given a Samurai armour. Those things look stupid.

Samurai are, indeed, cool. But did you see their armour? How the *place under the ground where satan dwelles but has been censored* do they walk in those things?

To Silverbolt: Watch 'The last Samurai' again, then you tell us how they moved in those armours.
And yeah, I'm with Corsair (Ow! it actually hurt to type that), some of the masks that were made for the helmets are freakin' cool.

Set a match alight, and a man will be warm for a minute.
Set a man on fire and he\'ll be warm the rest of his life.

I don't really want to see that movie which I found to be a near rip-off of Shogun.
And I was not expressing disbelief, Jigen, only curiosity.

The Samurai usually wore hover-boots or stilts. But most of the Samurai turned to becoming Ninja, and began to flip out and kill people, or eat frisbees.

What's wrong with wikipedia? I mean, besides the fact that it can't be trusted.

Ah I see, well in that case. Most of the armour is made for the upper body, generally in most samurai armour styles you'll see them wearing shin guards (there are thousands of places on the net where you can look up the japanese names and I'm at work and do not have access to my L5R sourcebooks) and a kind of armour skirt that comes down over their knees. Some heavier armours will incorporate armour for the thighs as well, but these are generally only encountered in full-on cavalry armour for open-field warfare. For general wear samurai rarely wore more armour than a chest plate and sleeves.
Of course it all depends on what period you're looking at. Once the entire country was unified armours became less important, martial arts became more internally focused and Samurai began to behave more like statesmen. It is in this era where men like Miyamoto Musashi rose to prominence.

Aha. Makes sense. Actually, better than European Medieval armour. Fall off your horse in battle in one of those and you're OWNED.

Not to mention the problem with running in a skirt.
