Samurai-ko
From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings
Samurai-ko are female samurai. Rokugan's society has a strict standard of conduct for social caste but genders themselves are not as strongly discriminated.
Female samurai are treated with the same respect as their male counterparts though they are typically expected to be softer-spoken and more lady-like in most clans. This does vary from clan to clan, with some families being strictly matriarchal like the Utaku, Moshi and the Matsu. The Matsu and Utaku have in fact higher standards for their samurai-ko than they do for their men, an expectation of chastity and honor not held to many men in the Empire.
