Yasuke the African Samurai tells the story of the first foreign samurai, who lived and fought in sixteenth century Japan. Uprooted from his home of Africa, Yasuke rose through the ranks of feudal Japan to become an elite soldier, and dear friend of a warlord. The film utilizes both tactile and traditional animation to uncover a forgotten story.
