I know how it is. I can watch battle videos if I'm in the mood for it, but my eyes kind of glaze over after a while. Also, I may have missed it in your videos, but if you haven't checked it out, I'd recommend Extra History's series on Sengoku Jidai.
Yasuke has no record since the war of Honnoji in 1582, but if IEYASU TOKUGAWA was active as NINJYA in SENGOKU-JIDAI until the unification of Japan in 1603, it seems to be interesting as a movie series.
Yasuke was a man of African origin who served as a retainer under the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga. In 1579, Yasuke arrived in Japan in the service of Italian Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano, Visitor of Missions in the Indies, in India.
Yasuke is thought by some to have been the first African that Nobunaga had ever seen and he was one of the many Africans to have come with the Portuguese to Japan during the Nanban trade. He was also present during the Honnō-ji Incident, the forced suicide of Nobunaga at the hands of his samurai general Akechi Mitsuhide on 21 June 1582.
Yasuke was also there at the time. Immediately after Nobunaga's death, Yasuke went to the lodging of Nobunaga's heir Oda Nobutada and tried to withdraw with him to Nijō Castle. When they were ambushed halfway, Yasuke fought alongside the Nobutada forces for a long time. Finally he surrendered his sword to Akechi's men.
More could have been expressed of this unique individual, who has remarkably achieved so much, from a educated humble servant to a military position of great prominence.
A few questions needed to be answered: 1. Where did he acquire such refined quality attributes from?
2. Did he inherit the moral values from his wise parents??
3. This person is intelligently meek! Very keen to listen and learn; Explain how!!
4. Before arrival a proven skilled swordsman, and verbal tongue of wisdom; From where???

There was no such thing as India. Until Europeans colonized Ethiopia. India was Eastern Ethiopia! It was Africa!

"To conclude: Look! Beyond the appearance skin deep within,
of the African man Yasuke.
Also give a supportive compliment to his better intellect."
