"Samurai Jack" is a popular anime show on the Cartoon Network. It is animated in South Korea and frequently shows Korean landscape. The equivalent Korean word for samurai is "sa-eul-a-bee". It is actual Korea where samurais originally came from. Long ago, a Korean Saeulabi went into exile in Japan and began teaching new students in the art of swordplay and personal honour. His students later became known as samurai.
