Original Note:
This picture was created by AI, it's not a real old photo, it's fake. Check the details. There was one possible black samurai in Japan: Yasuke. But contemporary sources called him a 小姓 (koshō ), which means he was probably a page or sword bearer/retainer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/m91cwa/yasuke_african_samurai_is_the_outrage_justified/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/flgpph/history_of_blackafricans_in_japan/
