samurais are warriors and henchmen and ninjas are assasins. their weapons differ, too. edit: "In the history of Japan, a ninja (å¿è€…, ninja?) was someone specially trained in a variety of unorthodox arts of war. The methods used by ninja included assassination, espionage, and a variety of martial arts."

"Cultural opposites of the samurai, the ninja were mountain mystics and farmers that because of territorial wars were forced to develop an art of combat to protect themselves and provide security for their families." "The term "samurai", meaning "those who serve" is a name applied to soldiers who fight in an army.

In addition to Yarnlady and Hallmahn's answers, I would say... ...the types of movies they are in. Samurai's seem to be in more historical action movies and Ninja's manage to appear out of nowhere in hotel rooms and warehouses in any action adventure flick that needs an Asian theme.

samurais were worriors and ninjas were spies

well for one thing the main difference is that ninja's would kill off any samurai that tried to step up.. ninja's are the best, they are quicker, faster, stronger.

Samurai were like the Knights of England only to Japan.They lived by the strict Code of the Samurai which is why they protected their counrty,gained knowledge, and protected and were polite to women.They fought mainly with a sword until the introduction of gunpowder, and were also known for their ability to create great poetry which may seem strange but they had strong morals about the society they fought to protect.They were also involved in politics. Ninja were very steathly and prefered to avoid direct combat unlike the samurai.They were forced from their regular life of simple farming and such into warfare during their era.They prefered to take down enemy's when they let their guard down and used a variety of weapons like kanata and shuriken.They trained in stealth and blended in so they were very effective at sneaking up on their target.They were something like mercanaries and even some samurai were also ninja. Most ninja and samurai ways were abandonded as Japan modernized, but some still hold on to their ways and customs.

In my oppinion, Ninja's and Samurai are both equal. The Ninja is highly trained in stealth and is exelent at assassination without detection. The Samurai is dedicated to protecting his country and religion. Samurai were smart enough to wear armour, Although Ninja's dont need to. I am more interested in Ninja's though because of their stealthy ways.
