>samurai-wielding Youmu
Technically Youmu falls under swordsman/kenshi (剣士), not Samurai.

>Adding actual Shogun and Ninja doesn't really fit the premise, since it's about magical land filled to the brim with youkai. There is no such thing as kingdom that employ Shogun and Ninja in Gensokyo. Unless it's a youkai that is somewhat related to the legend of Samurai/Ninja, or human Ronin.

Ninja is somewhat gain more noticeable mythical status compared to the realistic Samurai, especially their Kuji-kiri (hand seals). Kato Danzo in legend is able to fly and cast illusion to his opponent. There's also Koji Kashin who played illusion to legendary Daimyo like Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, though his status as Ninja is questionable since acts more like a Sorcerer. And there's Fuuma Kotaro, who is said that he look more like an Oni than human. With all of the example above, the existence of Ninja still somewhat fit the premise in Gensokyo due to their magical arts.

Don't forget that Samurai in the Heian era also has noticeable feats for dealing with the youkais. Guess who's responsible for the death of Shuten-doji and Ibaraki-doji in the legend? Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Watanabe no Tsuna, both of the are Samurai's under the Shogunate.
