In 1588, I am a samurai in Japan, what punishment would I get if I trained an ordinary person to be a samurai?

Probably none because you’d be politically connected and immune from prosecution. But the person you trained would probably not be accepted by most other samurai.

This was 1588 so 15 years before the founding of the Tokugawa Shogunate

Probably beheaded. or perhaps a limb or two cut off?
