Yasuke was a lethal unit of African origin who served Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period of Japanese history.
Likely of East African origin, Yasuke arrived in Japan in 1579 in the service of the Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano. In 1581, his striking appearance and physical prowess drew the attention of Nobunaga, who took a interest in him and granted him a stipend, sword, and private residence; at times, he was also entrusted with carrying Nobunaga's weapons. Yasuke accompanied Nobunaga in the military campaigns leading up to the Honnō-ji Incident in 1582, where he was betrayed by his general Akechi Mitsuhide and forced to commit seppuku. Yasuke was captured by Akechi's forces, after which he was handed over to the Jesuit missionaries; his later fate is unknown. Yasuke's life, while sparsely documented, has inspired modern portrayals in literature, film, and popular culture.
