A rōnin (浪人) was a samurai with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the death or fall of his master, or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.
In modern Japanese usage, the term also describes a salaryman who is "between employers" or a secondary school graduate who has not yet been admitted to university.
The word rōnin literally means "wave man". It is an idiomatic expression for "vagrant" or "wandering man", someone who is without a home. The term originated in the Nara and Heian periods, when it referred to a serf who had fled or deserted his master's land. It then came to be used for a samurai who had no master. (Hence, the term "wave man" illustrating one who is socially adrift.)
The word "浪人" means a "drifter" or a "wanderer", i.e. "he who drifts/wanders".
According to the Bushido Shoshinshu (the Code of the Samurai), a samurai was supposed to commit seppuku (also "hara kiri" — ritual suicide) upon the loss of his master. One who chose not to honor the code was "on his own" and was meant to suffer great shame. The undesirability of rōnin status was mainly a discrimination imposed by other samurai and by daimyo, the feudal lords.
A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.

De Niro has earned four nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, for his work in the musical drama New York, New York (1977), opposite Liza Minnelli, the action comedy Midnight Run (1988), the gangster comedy Analyze This (1999), and the comedy Meet the Parents (2000). He has also simultaneously directed and starred in films such as the crime drama A Bronx Tale (1993) and the spy film The Good Shepherd (2006).

A decade later, Ronin is forced out of retirement to hunt a renegade Dropa intent on killing the remaining members of The Legion.

Our disease, everywhere I wander
I trail the song of your despair, everywhere
don't you breathe, don't you dare?
Only life, do you care when it's gone?
who's side are you on anyway, do you care?
wanna stay ruled by your fear?
I don't know what it is that binds me to be like this,
we can't ever be at peace
carry on 'til we cease
Realize that I would
could spare you
if I only I knew how to be another man
than the wanderer I am
Walk with me into the world that waits to be
Here
Dawn the sea of the light that wants to be
Always ahead of the truth in us
Longing to be more than we are just because
Dawn is the promise of light
In the darkness where we hide
Our disease, everywhere I wander
I trail the song of your despair, everywhere
don't you breathe, don't you dare?
Only life, do you care when it's gone?
who's side are you on anyway, do you care?
wanna stay ruled by your fear?
All the world is yours to keep
All you have to do is walk with me
Walk with me into the world that waits to be
Here
Dawn the sea of the light that wants to be
Always ahead of the truth in us
Longing to be more than we are just because
Time holds a candle for each of us
Don't let it burn without meaning or a cause
Dawn is the promise of light
In the darkness where we hide
All the world is yours to keep
All you have to do is walk with me
All the world is yours to keep
