If it were fiction, it wouldn't be a problem, but if Yasuke is portrayed as a samurai, you need to make the story quite fantastical, as it will be seen as incorporating the views of historical revisionists, so care must be taken. When Yasuke was used in a certain game, it was confirmed that there were forces that were falsifying Japanese history and using Yasuke's existence for international politics, and now members of the Japanese House of Councilors have begun a preliminary investigation into collecting information on this and how to respond. In the real world, Yasuke was a black man who was a European slave who came to Japan, later presented to Nobunaga, and served as a porter until Nobunaga's death in a rebellion by his subordinates, and after Nobunaga's death he was sent to the Jesuits and disappeared from Japanese history. Be careful, as there are nonsense books about Yasuke written by historical revisionists that pander to black people in English-speaking countries.
