'''Anjirō''', also known as '''Yajirō''',<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref> was the first recorded [[Japan]]ese Christian, having been converted by [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] missionary and [[Templars|Templar]] [[Francis Xavier]] in the late 1540s.

Anjirō first met Xavier in [[Malacca]], where, knowing how to speak Portuguese, he talked with Xavier about his home country and how the Jesuits would be able to convert more people there than he would manage to in Malacca. Anjirō later accompanied Xavier to the {{Wiki|Saint Paul's College, Goa|seminary}} in {{Wiki|Goa}},<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/> where he was baptized, furthered his training in languages, and received catechesis. On 14 April 1549, Anjirō joined Xavier as his interpreter in his travels to Japan.<ref>{{WP|Anjirō}}</ref>
