Seppuku if i remember is one who kills themselves to avoid their death by another but i could be wrong. From what i thought it is was a type of suicide.

Seppuku was traditionally used as a last resort, when a warrior felt about his immoral master and refused to run. It was also a way to repent of an unforgivable sin, whether intentionally or by accident. Closer to home, the seppuku still remains as an outstanding way to redeem his sins, but also to wash a personal failure.

Seppuku ("stomach-cutting") is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment.
In time, carrying out seppuku came to involve a detailed ritual. This was usually performed in front of spectators if it was a planned seppuku, not one performed on a battlefield. A samurai was bathed, dressed in white robes, and fed his favorite meal. When he had finished, his instrument was placed on his plate. Dressed ceremonially, with his sword placed in front of him and sometimes seated on special cloths, the warrior would prepare for death by writing a death poem.

With his selected attendant standing by, he would open his kimono, take up his tantō or wakizashi—which the samurai held by the blade with a portion of cloth wrapped around so that it would not cut his hand and cause him to lose his grip—and plunge it into his abdomen, making a left-to-right cut. The kaishakunin would then perform kaishaku, a cut in which the warrior was decapitated.

Does this help?

When samurai did "really seppuku", he cut open his abdomen to use short knife "tantou".
At once his neck was cut down with "katana". So I heard he felt little pain.....
Of course "Seppuku" is prohibited now. I don't know really seppuku too.
