==Edits to "Yasuke"==
Hello, please be advised that the information you are trying to add to "[[Yasuke]]" have no merit in the article. Behind the scenes information should be relevant to ''Assassin's Creed'' in some way, such as by explaining a historical inaccuracy in a game's portrayal. ''Assassin's Creed: Shadows'', however, does not purport that Yasuke was the first black person to live in Japan, and there is no need to investigate in such great detail on his page about whether this was true historically, even going on tangents with unrelated individuals like a Cham Buddhist monk. Apart from that, you fail to give citations for your claims. Please be aware that reverting an edit more than three times constitutes edit warring, and this is prohibited behaviour.

Before waves of Han migrations around 1000 B.C., the original inhabitants of China were black skinned people who dominated the region until a few thousand years ago. They were followed by the ethnic groups, who are part of the Austronesian people who have come from the Malay Archipelago 6,000 years ago. Pejoratively called Moor Negritos, or Little Black People, by the Spanish invaders who observed them in Southeast Asia, these black folk were still living in China during the Qing dynasty (1644 to 1911).
At about 35,000 B.C. a group of black Chinese, who became known as the Jomon entered Japan, they became the first humans to inhabit the Japanese Islands. Later, another group; now known as the Ainu, followed. Genetically they’re more similar to dark-skinned groups found in Southeast Asia than the Chinese, Japanese or Koreans. Today, their genes can still be found in 40% of modern Japanese, as well as Mongolians and Tibetans, (Past and Present) Kings and Queens.
==History of the African Chinese==
The Original Chinese Were Black People Called, Xia, Yi, Shang An...
China's first dynasty and emperor founded by King Tang (or Ta) who was black. The earliest documented rulership of China was the Shang Dynasty (or Chang) c1500-1008 BC, which is credited with bringing together the elements of China's earliest civilization. The Shang was given the name Nakhi (Na-Black, khi-Man) under the Black dynasty.
The black Chinese established the basic forms of graceful calligraphy that has lasted to the present day. The first Chinese emperor, the legendary Fu-his (2953-2383 BC), was without doubt black and his African brothers and sisters established government, social institutions and cultural inventions.
They are credited with the creation of the I Ching, or the `Book of Change' which is oldest most revered system of prophesy. It is know to have influenced the most distinguished philosophers of Chinese thought. These Afrikan offspring were responsible for the building of China's earth mounds pyramids, which are today mistaken for hills due to their eroded appearance in size. The pyramids in Japan are not made of stone indigenous to Japan. It is said that small black people built them during the Mu civilization. In later ages they were responsible in 210 BC for constructing an elaborate tomb for Qin Shi-Huaangi, his body is guarded by an army of soldiers warriors, made out of Terracotta. They are also credited with the building of the Great Wall of China.
Quoting the works of Kwang-Chih Chang for the `The Archaeology of Ancient China' by Irwin Graham, in `Afrikan Abroad'-R Rashidi makes these two points. There is evidence of substantial population of Blacks in early China. Archaeological studies have located a black substratum in earliest Chinese history, and report of Major Kingdoms ruled by blacks are frequent in "Chinese documents" Nile Valley civilization "
In the earliest Chinese history, several text in classical books spoke of these diminutive blacks; the ToHeu-Li composed under the dynasty of Teheu (1122-249BC) give description of the inhabitants with black features. Chinese folklore speak often of these blacks and mention an emperor of China named Li (373-397) consort of the emperor Hsiao Wu Wen who is spoken of as being black Afrikan, and kingdom of diminutive blacks in the south west of China.
The sacred manchu dynasty shows a great strain of black people. Emperor Pu-yi of Manchikuo, direct descendants of the Manchu ruler of China is most distinctly black. "Chinese Chronicle reports that a black empire existed in the south of China at the beginning of the country's history".
==The original Black foreigners to Japan==
Earliest mentions of black people in Japan long before Yasuke can be found in the 日本書紀 (''Nihon Shoki'', 720), 続日本紀 (''Shoku Nihongi'', 797), and the 日本後紀 (''Nihon Koki'', 840).
According to the Nihon Shoki, ships carrying envoys from the Kingdom of Champa intended to go to Baekje drifted to the Japanese seashores in the provinces of Tsukushi (筑紫国, modern-day Fukuoka Prefecture) and Mikawa (三河国, modern-day Aichi Prefecture). In respond, a Japanese emissary named Hironari Hiraguni visited Champa in 735 and received a greeting banquet from the King of Champa.
According to the Shoku Nihongi and Nihon Koki, in 736 a Cham Buddhist monk named Buttetsu (仏哲) arrived in Japan. He was particularly noted as "black oily skin and woolly hair." His talents quickly earned trusts and praises from Emperor Shomu. In 752, at the opening ceremony of the Tōdai-ji Temple, Buttetsu introduced a new type of Japanese dance and Japanese music known as Rinyugaku (林邑楽, 'Music of the Black Men') while the enjoyed Emperor of Japan highly appreciated Buttetsu's perform.
==The Cham of Champa: The original Black civilization of Vietnam==
Ancient Chinese and Japanese sources describe the Chams possessed "black skin, eyes deep in the orbit, nose turned up, hair frizzy." The Chinese annals Book of Southern Qi states "For the complexion of men, they consider Black the most beautiful. In all the kingdoms of the southern region, it is the same."
American Sinologist Don Wyatt notes that, medieval Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese sources all used the same term 'kun-lun' to explicitly designate to black people including indigenous Black Asians and Africans. This term was applied for the Chams, Khmers, Thais, Malays, Aboriginal Australians, Ethiopians, and Cengzi (Zanj) in modern-day Kenya, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Mozambique.
In modern times, as early as 1923, Harvard University anthropologist Roland Burrage Dixon noted that the ancient Chams and Khmers were physically "marked by distinctly short stature, dark skin, curly or even frizzly hair, broad noses and thick Negroid lips." Writing from 1907, British anthropologist Walter W. Skeat described the Cham of Champa "handsome, with almost aquiline nose, eyes without the mongoloid fold, wavy or frizzy hair, and dark skin." American historian David Childress also noted that "Champa Statues in Vietnam of the Champa show men and women distinctly African in appearance and the Champa royalty were known to consist of nearly every racial group."
