IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION: Using the uploaded photo as reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics while transforming them into a samurai warrior. Maintain the original facial identity, expressions, and recognizable personal traits with high accuracy.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION: Convert the subject into a noble samurai warrior wearing traditional Japanese samurai armor (yoroi). Include an ornate kabuto (helmet) with a mempo (face mask) positioned to reveal the lower face and identity. The person should wear traditional samurai robes and armor pieces with authentic textures and craftsmanship. The expression should be dignified, focused, and honorable-reflecting the Bushido code. Add traditional elements like a katana sword at the waist or held respectfully, and consider a background that complements the samurai aesthetic such as a misty mountain, ancient temple, or cherry blossom garden.
