I would disagree. in my observation, most people aren't plugged into the Yasuke drama. Assassin's Creed in and of itself has no cultural relevance outside of the gaming sphere (and hardly any in the gaming sphere for that matter), so most normies don't even know about it.
Most people don't know anything about Japanese history hence why i said Yasuke is now the most well known figure from Japanese history (who doesn't even exist)
for sword nerds, the most famous person is probably musashi miyamoto.
for video game nerds, the most famous person is probably shigeru miyamoto.
for WWII history buffs, they might point to Yamamoto or Tojo
for those plugged into the culture war (which are not many), it's probably Yasuke. Yasuke is definitely one of the most talked about figures in the culture war, but I guarantee the larger public will forget his name a year from now. my speech-to-text does not even recognize the name.
