As Al Horford continues his stellar first season in Boston, his sister Anna has carved out her own niche on social media. The 24-year-old Michigan resident has become one of the Celtics' biggest fans, and her unfiltered opinion and blunt talk has turned her into a cult hero.
The Samurai were warrior-nobles in Japanese society, with a strong honour code called bushido. The name 'Samurai' means 'ones who serve'. Before the 1550s the Samurai were fierce warriors attached to a daimyo or lord, whom they were loyal to and fought for.
By some reports, the word samurai first appeared in the 12th century. For a long time, the samurai provided the main military force used against emishi and other clans. In the 1100s, two powerful clans served the emperor of Japan: the Taira clan, and the Minamoto clan. These two families became bitter rivals, and in 1192, Minamoto Yoritomo led his clan to victory over the Taira.
