Hmm, interesting, and a good example on why there is no substitute for an actual working knowledge of a subject.

Im not sure because I am neither fluent nor Japanese. But everytime ive ever seen anything to do with "samurai" they tend to use a different kanji or katakana. We have a few v.good/fluent speakers on the board, so im sure someone will say something.

btw, I had a look at some Japanese fencing sites (I feel dirty) and couldnt find the term KENSHI anywhere. Thats not to say they dont use it.. they probably just use SAN or SENSHU (player).
