I came up with this design, then tried to find a flavour for it. The Avenging Samurai is a compelling one, but that means I either need to have this have "Samurai" in the name but not on the type line (big no-no), or have it be creature type Samurai without bushido (that was a no-no in Kamigawa), or add bushido with reminder text which makes this super wordy, or add bushido without reminder text which doesn't make much sense when there's only about 5-6 cards in the set with bushido. Or just find another name which fits with this being a green (traditionalist Japanese) Soldier or Rebel or Citizen.
I think I'm most inclined to break the "all Samurai must have bushido" rule. I think the plan then is to leave bushido specifically to the Four Holy Swords and Tohdoh, but I might have a couple more Samurai without it.
I might do a bit more brainstorming for a non-Samurai name though.
This design is probably better suited to rare than uncommon
