Brought to Japan in the 16th century by Portuguese traders, he was the first person of African origin who became an instant celebrity. Rumored to be about seven feet tall and possessing the strength of 10 men, he garnered the attention of the famed warlord Oda Nobunaga. He served his master diligently through many battle victories. He is most famously associated with the title of African Samurai. This is the story of Yasuke.

Not much is known about Yasuke. From the historical accounts that are available, we know that, despite his intimidating demeanor, he was a gentle person. This was the first impression Nobunaga had of him when he first saw him surrounded by a large curious crowd in Kyoto. Being taken to immediately, he frequently accompanied the warlord and even dined with him personally, which was a rare occurrence at the time.

Come and meet the legendary non-Japanese figure in Japanese history. This wonderful book will help you acquire unique insights into Yasuke's life and times.

Really solid listen. Touches on the origins of Yasuke, how he met Nobunaga his time with him and Sengoku Japan in context. It's a short listen because it's very straight to the point and only keeps relevant information. I recommend it highly!

Informative and factual

I enjoyed this but mainly due to my interest in the Sengoku period in Japan.

Relatively factual.

Really repetitive and some chapters could be summarised in a paragraph. There are multiple books on this topic and not sure this is the best.

Disappointing
