I remember a web article mentioned a point: in feudal Japan, "people" refers to the position of the vassal and above who can serve in the military. Agriculture and industry are not in the eyes of the lord. Kimura's role, although poor, has a family of three, a husband and wife plus an old servant, a house, and a set of dresses. The most extravagant hobby left is keeping birds. In short, poor scum.
But he was a man in the eyes of the lord, a samurai capable of military service.
So when his dignity is offended by a high-ranking samurai, he has to fight hard, and he dares to fight hard. Because he wants to maintain his dignity as a ruling class, even if it is the lowest level, it is also a "scholar".
