'''Samurai''' or '''[[Gattai]]-5''' is a [[Sudoku Variant]] with overlapping constituent [[Sudoku]] grids.

The puzzle has 5 grids, with the center grid overlapping exactly one corner [[box]] with each of the remaining grids.

Puzzle designers often leave the overlapping boxes without [[given]]s, because these would cause too many eliminations, making the puzzle too easy. In a good Samurai, the constituent puzzles cannot be solved without the information provided by the overlapping regions, but the puzzle as a whole has a single solution.
