Original Note:
While popular myths claim Yasuke was a samurai, there is no factual evidence that indicates he was ever given the title of samurai under an official capacity. He served as a samurai retainer, which is a title similar to "squire". https://www.huffingtonpost.jp/entry/yasuke_jp_609347f7e4b09cce6c26a9b2 https://intojapanwaraku.com/rock/culture-rock/28746/
