There is no exact reference mentioning the Samurai who invented Origami. However it is said that history of Origami started with the exchange of gifts made by paper among samurai warriors.

Origami had already become a significant aspect of Japanese ceremony by the Heian period of Japanese history. Samurai warriors would exchange gifts adorned with noshi, a sort of good luck token made of folded strips of paper.

Explain the history of Origami. Some say Samurai wrapped fish as gifts and the gift wrapping became very elaborate resulting in a primate origami style.
There is a lot of rumors of what oragami was used for, some say it was to teach, others say it was to wrap gifts, for ceremonial and symbolic purposes, they say both japan and china used it for screens, vases, umbrellas and hats.
They also say it was used to help certify documents and prevented unauthorized copies.
Some people say Europeans invented it and it was passed on to asians through the silk trade routes. Since documentation on historical matters that small, it is truely a mistery.
