How do you write "soul/spirit of a samurai" in kanji? Even the english (romanji?) version would help me locate a website with the kanji.

Err... I'm just guessing, but I think it's something like

侍の魂

which would sound like "samurai no tamashii". However, my Japanese knowledge is very basic, and both "soul" and "spirit" returned lots of different results in my dictionary :P . Perhaps someone else is able to tell you for sure.

Looks right to me (of course, watashi wa gaijin no baka, so take it with some salt).
