【Yasuke】
Yasuke (弥助 or 弥介) was a man of African origin who served as a kashin (家臣, retainer) under the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga.[5]
In 1579, Yasuke arrived in Japan in the service of the Italian Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano, Visitor of Missions in the Indies, in India. Yasuke was one of the several Africans to have come with the Portuguese to Japan during the Nanban trade and is thought by some to have been the first African that Nobunaga had ever seen.[6][7] He was also present during the Honnō-ji Incident, the forced suicide of Nobunaga at the hands of his general Akechi Mitsuhide on 21 June 1582.[8]

Yasuke is the given name of a foreign page who once served Nobunaga until the latter’s death. His exotic appearance was said to have caused a huge stir among the Japanese wherever he went.
He is a minor Oda vassal who originally appeared in earlier titles of the Nobunaga’s Ambition series before returning in Sphere of Influence as a downloadable character. His redeeming traits are his high bravery and loyalty stats.
