    Yasuke was a real historical figure. What most people don&apos;t know is that the very 1st Shogun was also a black man, and what we now call Tokyo is originally Edo, name after the Edo people of modern Nigeria who founded it with other tribes. You might also find it written as Yedo. The Japanese have a saying: &quot;The fiercest samurai are those who carry remnants of the black blood.&quot;

    The TV series Shogun was partly based on the story of Will Adams, an English pilot of a Dutch ship, who was stranded in Japan, became Hatamoto, then Samurai.
