Original Note:
As historian Hirayama explains, a man like Yasuke, who was not given a surname, was only "the lowest-ranking samurai," he is similar to a samurai apprentice. Yasuke is recorded due to the rarity of blacks in Japan, which does not indicate his "heroic exploits". https://x.com/hirayamayuukain/status/1814605385833324711
