Isn't this old news? Swear there was a post about this months ago...
And I'll reiterate what I said then, the African thing is stupid given how many Africans were in Asia in general at that time so using one as a shinobi is stupid, there were a few cases of female samauri but they'd be better as a Shinobi ironically as women can easily access certain areas most men can't so make effective spies and assassins.
Yeah, the african guy was acquired by Oda Nobunaga because some foreign trader or missionary had him and Nobunaga was like "what the fuck are you, you work for me now". Nobunaga was a rather impulsive figure, and the guy that rose from a provincial lord to unifier of the warring states through sheer strategic genius, balls and a lot of luck.
Nobunaga never mentioned him in his writing. Which is strange as Nobunaga would write poems about everything and a black person in Japan would stand out quite a lot.

Yeah, but to the liberal mind, since Yasuke existed, obviously 500% of the Japanese population must have been black.
Is that African samurai legend true? Since I heard it in the last few years I’m skeptical
