it's famous historical figure Yasuke. there's a netflix anime about him and everything.

but also it's ubisoft so i'm sure they're using him cynically

No question. But gamers' thoughts and opinions have the depth of a shallow puddle so as soon as they see a black man in Japan its "Ubisoft woke, SJW, DEI, Sweet Baby aaaaaaaaaah"guts-rage
