Original Note:
While notes on Wikipedia and Time *suggests* that Yasuke was paid a stipend (unconfirmed), there are no proofs that suggests Yasuke wasn't infact a slave. Also, the Japanese empire at the time traded humans and it is very possible that Yasuke was a slave turned handyman. https://www.jstor.org/stable/25066328
