Original Note:
NNN Samurai was a title inherited or bestowed by a lord. There is not a single japanese scroll from th 16th century claiming that Nobunaga ever bestowed Yakuze with that title. Lockley's book, often referenced as proof of Yasuke's title, is a fiction published in 2019. https://www.amazon.com/African-Samurai-Yasuke-Legendary-Warrior/dp/1335141022
