If you want to know anything about this guy. He's ethnic Japanese but he was raised in America. When he was younger he got bullied by Japanese people for being American so he hates Japan as a result of that, . Yet he likes to act like he's the spokesperson for all Japanese people on English youtube. . He's pro lgbt and pro diversity and anti racist, . He's married to a Chinese woman whose family hates Japan but likes him, and he gets promoted by the youtube algorithm his videos always get millions of views, meaning he's probably funded by some big agency just like the other big youtubers. . He said he wanted to leave Japan, but still ended up staying there anyways .
And apparently because of this faggot acting like he's a spokesperson for all Japanese people and spreading rumors about how Japanese people accept Yasuke as a samurai, , there's now cases of Japanese people who get accused of "being a White racist using google translate" for speaking out against Ubisoft's assassin's creed https://files.catbox.moe/5cuu43.png
I mean they accept he may be real but I don't think they think he's a samurai
He may be real in so far as he was a servant of the jesuits. But that seems to be the ONLY collaborating thing from Japanese historical sources . . . Look more into Luis Frois the jesuit that came up with the story of Yasuke. , and the differences between his accounts of the time versus Ota Gyuichi, the biographer of Nobunaga and Hideyoshi. Frois' account was filled with lies.
Obligatory copypasta:
"The sole argument for the existence of Yasuke is the Jesuit chronicles of their missions to Japan. Which were filled with nonsense and aren't taken seriously by most Catholics. Several of them were bloating their accounts in hopes of a bishopric.
Nobunaga never mentioned him in his own writings. Which given that Nobunaga would write poems about pretty much anything he laid eyes on, suggests that the two never met. The sole corroborating account stated that one of the missionary priests had a black servant, and they presented him as a curiosity to Nobunaga's court, but there is evidence of nothing else.
Here's another strain on historical credulity. Supposedly Yasuke fought for Nobunaga as a samurai. One of the claims is that he spoke fluent Japanese.
The time period between when they supposedly met and when Nobunaga was assassinated by Akechi Mitsuhide was... three months.
A black guy from what would now be Morocco, probably a slave to the priests, and someone whose language skills would have included mostly broken Portuguese, supposedly learned the second most difficult language on earth in three months. For reference, Japanese has three goddamn formal alphabets.
There is nothing about the story that is historically credible. There is more evidence of Santa Claus than there is of Yasuke. Now if you want a Japanese historical figure that is actually interesting and actually real, I suggest Honda Tadakatsu. He's a real life Hercules."
Not sure what sources you mean, but didn't the Japanese source just say the Jesuits claimed to have a black servant? In other words not a first-hand account.
Potentially worse, this would have been before the Meiji reforms so there were multiple written versions of the same kana.
But to be fair, "speaking fluent Japanese" doesn't require reading or writing.
They also think he learned how to fight and became proficient enough in japanese martial arts to be an actual warrior , all in about 3 months. These people have no experience fighting or probably even with sports, their only reference is video game tutorial levels and training montages in films.
This shogo guy himself practices iaido, which is a legit martial art but not one with any actual combat. Its just sword drawing and kata. Theres a video of him trying to spar and he has no clue what to do. Looks like a complete beginner.
