Yasuke is a character introduced in the upcoming 2025 action role-playing game Assassin's Creed Shadows. A former African slave, he arrives in Japan as the bodyguard of Catholic Jesuit missionaries. Upon meeting Oda Nobunaga, the ruler takes Yasuke into his service and has him trained to be a samurai. [9]
There are a plethora of sources which do not refer to Yasuke as a samurai, and a single academic book by Lopez-Vera and a handful of tertiary sources that do say Yasuke is a samurai. Even allowing for the argument that the sources don't explicitly say Yasuke wasn't a samurai, you are still left with a single academic source that says ...
Yasuke is the first known African to appear in Japanese historical records. Much of what is known about him is found in fragmentary accounts in the letters of the Jesuit missionary Luís Fróis, Ōta Gyūichi's Shinchō Kōki (信長公記, Nobunaga Official Chronicle), Matsudaira Ietada's Matsudaira Ietada Nikki (松平家忠日記, Matsudaira Ietada Diary), Jean Crasset's Histoire de l ...

The default condition for Yasuke is: him not being a samurai. Yasuke cannot be considered a samurai simply because many modern depictions or folk-tale style stories show him as a samurai, or because unreliable secondary sources claim his as such. It's legend. It's fine that it's legend. But it's not a verifiable claim.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is an action-adventure stealth game similar to its predecessors. It is developed on an upgraded version of Anvil, utilizing dynamic lighting and environmental interactions with new enhancements such as breakable objects, in addition to allowing players to manipulate shadows and use a grappling hook for parkour.

There is a clear consensus that Yasuke should be represented in the article as a Samurai.While there was opposition to the suggestion, the opposition mostly boils down to the argument that Thomas Lockley's book is unreliable, and that the Lopez-Vera source is similarly unreliable on the basis that the Lopez-Vera publication does not use in-text citations.
