   The problem is that Yasuke sources seem to primarily come from the Yasuke book. So academic papers won't help. The papers I did see were about Japan-afro studies.
   
   I don't know if I'll look deeper into this. But the first thing I'd do is look up this "Kurosuke children's book" to better understand it. It would be funny if the major points of Yasuke were all present in Kurosuke. Just read this one synopsis:
   "Kuro-suke of Japan
   A Japanese children’s story about a black young man who worked for Oda Nobunaga during the Honnôji Revolt. It is a masterpiece that contributed to the development of the historical genre in Japan.

   Again this would be REALLY FUNNY if this entire Yasuke thing was just plagiarized historical fiction passed off as historical fact.
