Original Note:
From to historical accounts like “Cartas que os padres e irmãos da Companhia de Jesus escreverão dos reynos de Japão e China II (1598)”. He was recorded as a “weapon bearer”, akin to a knight attendant/page. No records indicate Yasuke fought in battles, let alone was a samurai https://www.foreignperspectives.net/p/yasuke-african-samurai-myth-or-neither
