Japan DOUBTS the Yasuke Black Samurai Story?!

Assassin's Creed Shadows is putting the "Yasuke the Black Samurai" narrative on blast with Japanese politicians. Apparently, the story of Yasuke is predominantly a work of speculative fiction by white author Thomas Lockley, an Associate Professor at Nihon University College of Law in Tokyo. Not only is there a AAA game on the way and an anime on Netflix, but there's even a BROADWAYS MUSICAL in development.
