Some of the first foreigners to become samurai and learn Japanese are William Adams who was English and Jan Joosten who was Dutch. Both of them lived and died in Japan, and had many honors. The district around Tokyo Station is actually named after Joosten's Japanese name.
The difference really is stark between how well respected the actual men to become samurai are compared to passing remarks that there might have possibly been a black guy paid by Nobunaga as an amusement or pack mule.
Which game series is that? I've played Shogun: Total War and that one seems more like it was taking a period in Japanese history partly popularized by Clavel's book Shogun and running with it. John Blackthorne is Clavel's version of Adams for the book.

At least William Adams got a great video game series made about him.
Funny how the video game series about William Adams was made by Japanese themselves. Whilst all the nigger Yasuke media is made by woke Westerners.
Yasuke is in Nioh though too.
But he isn't the main character.(still bad that he's even there though)
