Recently, Netflix released an original anime series called Yasuke which tells the story of an African Samurai living in Japan. The interesting thing is, for those who don't know, Yasuke is not fictional character.

Yasuke was an African born Samurai who served under the famous Oda Nobunaga from 1579 - 1582. He was a former slave and the first foreign-born man,  in Japanese history, to obtain the rank of Samurai.

So when we heard Netflix was set to release a series based on him, we  jumped at the chance to not only talk about the anime, but pay this warrior his flowers.
