Interesting fact:
There actually WAS one black samurai.
A man from Mozambique accompanied a Jesuit missionary to Japan in the 16th century. Oda Nobunaga heard of a very strong dark skinned man in his territory and recruited him to fight for him. Oda eventually gave him the name Yasuke and elevated him to Samurai.

Nobunaga was... odd.
He was also really into using Ashigaru. Lots and lots of Ashigaru. He was sort of the Japanese version of Oliver Cromwell.
Japanese historians wrote about him in the 19th century.
