The OH-58 Kiowa is a family of single-engine, single-rotor, observation and light attack helicopters manufactured by Bell Helicopter Textron and originally based on the company's Bell 206A JetRanger helicopter. The OH-58 Kiowa has been in continuous use by the United States Army since its introduction in 1969. The latest model, the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, is primarily operated in an armed reconnaissance role in support of ground troops.

A warrior is a person habitually engaged in warfare. In tribal societies engaging in endemic warfare, warriors often form a caste or class of their own. In feudalism, the vassals essentially form a military or warrior class, even if in actual warfare, peasants may be called to fight as well. In some societies, warfare may be so central that the entire people (or, more often large parts of the male population) may be considered warriors, for example in the Iron Age Germanic tribes or the Medieval Rajputs.

Professional warriors are people who are paid money for engaging in military campaigns and fall into one of two categories: Soldiers, when fighting on behalf of their own state; or mercenaries, when offering their services commercially and unrelated to their own nationality. The classification of somebody who is involved in acts of violence may be a matter of perspective, and there may be disagreement whether a given person is a hooligan, gangster, terrorist, rebel, freedom fighter, mercenary or a soldier.

Pier Gerlofs Donia of Kimswerd (c.1480 - 1520) was a Frisian warrior, pirate, freedom fighter, folk hero, and rebel. He is best known by his West Frisian nickname "Grutte Pier" ("Greate Pier" in the Old Frisian spelling), or by the Dutch translations "Grote Pier", "Nichterige Pier" and "Lange Pier", or, in Latin, "Pierius Magnus". The nickname refers to his legendary size and strength (historians today assume that he was impressively built, and remembered that way some 500 years after his death). His life is mostly shrouded in legend, but there is no doubt that he really existed for there is sufficient evidence of his existence (under which is a known location for his grave).

Based upon a description now attributed to Pier’s contemporary Petrus Thaborita, the 19th-century historian Conrad Busken Huet wrote that Grutte Pier was "a tower of a fellow as strong as an ox, of dark complexion, broad shouldered, with a long black beard and moustache. A natural rough humorist, who through unfortunate circumstances was recast into an awful brute. Out of personal revenge for the bloody injustice that befell him (in 1515) with the killing of kinsfolk and destruction of his property he became a freedom fighter of legendary standing."

Warrior (born Brian James Hellwig on June 16, 1959) is a former American professional wrestler best known as The Ultimate Warrior in World Wrestling Entertainment and World Championship Wrestling. He legally changed his name to Warrior in 1993 and currently works as a motivational speaker.

"The Warrior" is the name of a popular song by the group Scandal. It appears on the album of the same name. The song was written by Nick Gilder and Holly Knight and it went to number one in Canada and to number seven in the US. The song also won a BMI Airplay Award.

Björk claims "The Warrior" to be one of her favorite songs, claiming that it inspired her to be a musician.

From 2001 to 2004 the song was played before the players came out at Rugby League team Wigan Warriors home matches.

The song was used for the Charles Barkley highlights sequence of the 1988 video NBA Superstars.

The song was also featured in the Family Guy episode "Petarded" (season #4, episode #6, total 54th episode in the series) where Stewie was featured in an iPod commercial dancing to this song in silhouette.

The song appears as a master track in the video game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. Because of this, this song is one of the two only songs in the whole history of the game to ever end in a fade-out (the other being Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock").

Hit the Lights, a pop punk band, have recently covered this song.

The song was featured on popular video game Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories, on fictional radio station Flash FM.
