Original Note:
Yasuke, despite being liked by Nobunaga, was not a samurai but a 小姓 (page bearer/retainer), carrying Nobunaga's tools. The use of secondary sources contradicts primary sources that support his role as a 小姓: 1581 letters of the Jesuits Luís Fróis and Lorenço Mexia. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pQE_AAAAcAAJ&redir_esc=y https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke
