Came looking for this reference. I thought Nioh was so cool for the focus it put on real historical elements of Japan, particularly the lesser-known elements like an Irish samurai or an African samurai. So cool.
(Idk if this is true or not) when he arrived to japan as a slave, the feudal lord at that time thought he was a god because he’s never seen a black man before and because the god of prosperity is represented as a black statue. The feudal lord invited him to his castle and ordered for the black pigment to be rubbed off his skin, believing it to be ink. After the feudal lord found out that pigment was really Yasuke’s skin, he threw a feast in Yasuke’s honor and made him a samurai. I think they also became best friends.
It is debated whether he was inducted as a samurai. As records show he was gifted a sword and sheath not made a samurai, but a fascinating story nonetheless.
Please report this post if:
He's a boss in the game Nioh. Cool story overall, I hope the movie is good.
The Obsidian Samurai*!

Great for spin to win axe builds👍
Movie?
"You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin
Fuck yes, I love stumbling upon a Rurouni Kenshin reference
This would be one hell of a movie holy shit
Death is lighter than a feather, duty is heavier than a mountain.
I'm so there. Accidental burnt out ex-IT guy samurai. Just kill me already!
Hhhitokiri battousai
“Oro”
Reminds me of George Washington in Hamilton. “Dying is easy, young man. Living is harder.”
Dying is easy young man, living is harder.
I NEED a movie or documentary for this :(
Chadwick Boseman is starring in a film of Yasuke

Jeezus no shit right???
Sounds like a great story for Quentin Tarantino to spin off.
Erection [✓]
Starring Scarlet Johansson.
Just watch the Game Of Thrones episodes about the unsullied. /s
Amen.

They made a movie about him yet?
There is a movie starring Chadwick Boseman in pre-production.
The Black Samurai.

Looks good for his age
Yeah documentary necessary now! For an outsider to make samurai status means mad props from the locals and the feudal lord who elevated him. IDNK

If Tom Cruise was black he already would have made a movie starring as Yasuke.
Photography was still in its infancy back then, and color photos would not being to appear until 1746.

Mozambique'ere
Heard of this guy. Isn't there a movie being made about him?
not related to the jim kelly movie
Correct me if I'm wrong but being a samurai was a privilege for the elite class.
This could become a great movie.
This needs to be a movie or a video game sounds like such a damn good story
He was more deadlier in the dark
I'd watch that movie
I spent waaay too long trying to find out if this was actually him (you know, like a really well-preserved mummy). Turns out it's a piece of art.
Mozambique here
I need this movie immediately.
Is this a picture of a statue of Yasuke or?
yeah, its a statue
That's a cool historical story!
So... Afro Samurai?

Liberals back in 16th century : "If a slave works hard enough, he can be a samurai."
You’re really just hunting for any type of argument, huh
