A black man would be a very unusual sighting in feudal Japan . I think it would be much more documented especially if he was supposedly a servant that carried the swords of one of the greatest warlords. . But he isn't even mentioned in the writings and poems of said warlord himself.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be unusual, but I don't think it's that notable compared to the warlords actual accomplishments.
For example, when Lewis & Clark ventured out west, Clark's slave was a very interesting curiosity, but it didn't factor much into the expedition from the native's perspective.
