Yasuke
Yasuke (Japanese: 弥助 or 弥介) was an African servant to Oda Nobunaga near the end of the Sengoku period. Brought to Japan as a slave by the Portuguese Empire in 1579,[1] he later attained the rank of samurai and participated in a raid against Fujibayashi Naoe's village in Iga Province, before eventually joining the Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins.[2]
Behind the scenes
Yasuke is a historical figure who will appear in the 2024 video game Assassin's Creed: Shadows, where he will be voiced by the Zimbabwean actor Tongayi Chirisa. His character is unique in the Assassin's Creed series for being the first real person that players can control as a main protagonist. This is a shift from earlier games, where players typically met renowned people as non-player characters in a protagonist's adventures.
