I think they had Buddhist warrior monks or Buddhist Samurai in ancient Japan, didn't they ?

I'm from Japan. A certain Buddhist sect united people to rebel against the government with military means in the 15th-16th centuries (civil war era). There might have been other military events justified by Buddhists, but I do not think that their ideas relate to our time.
