Historians don’t make a lot of strong claims about Yasuke - there’s very little written on him (in English, that I can access through journal databases) other than a pop history book that seems to play a little fast and loose with the facts.
I think the lack of information makes him a better protagonist though.
I meant the rank of samurai as the historical inaccuracy, not the characters race.
There’s no historian that contests that he was a samurai, Nobunaga trusted his son’s life to the man.
