Anjirō
Anjirō, also known as Yajirō,[1] was the first recorded Japanese Christian, having been converted by Jesuit missionary and 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 seminary in Goa,[1] 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.[2]
