street samurai
A "street samurai" is a term often used in cyberpunk fiction to describe a skilled warrior who operates in urban environments. These individuals typically blend traditional martial arts with modern technology, often using advanced weapons and cybernetic enhancements. They navigate the complexities of a dystopian society, where they may serve as mercenaries, bodyguards, or vigilantes.
Street samurai are characterized by their code of honor, reminiscent of the samurai of feudal Japan. They often embody themes of loyalty, discipline, and personal honor, while also grappling with the moral ambiguities of their actions in a world dominated by megacorporations and crime syndicates.
