Yasuke (弥助) was an African retainer of the warlord Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period of Japan. Brought to Japan as a slave by the Portuguese Empire in 1579,[1] he entered into the service of Oda Nobunaga after capturing his attention and favour. In 1581, he participated in an attack on Iga. Later on, he became an ally of the young Assassin Fujibayashi Naoe despite the initial enmity she had borne towards him for devastating her home.[2]

Behind the scenes

Yasuke is a historical figure who will appear in the 2024 video game Assassin's Creed: Shadows, where he is being voiced by the Zimbabwean actor Tongayi Chirisa. His character is unique in the Assassin's Creed series for being the first real individual that players can control as a main protagonist.
