Original Note:
nothing in the historical record supports this. While details about Yasuke's life are sparse, everything we know suggests Nobunaga respected him and there is reason to believe he fought in battle https://www.britannica.com/biography/Yasuke https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/who-was-yasuke-japans-first-black-samurai-180981416/ additionally, he was not the only black man in japan at the time https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09555809508721524
