Original Note:
From 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”, similar to a squire (and is also classified as a retainer). No records indicate Yasuke was a samurai https://www.foreignperspectives.net/p/yasuke-african-samurai-myth-or-neither
