Abstract

"BLACK SAMURAI" tells the story of Yasuke, an African servant who became a Japanese warrior and the only person of African ancestry to reach the rank of samurai. Yasuke's arrival in Japan caused a sensation due to his unique appearance, leading to his recruitment by the powerful warlord Oda Nobunaga. Despite the mystery surrounding his origins and fate, Yasuke's remarkable story has gained popularity in contemporary research, inspiring various adaptations in literature, film, and other media."
