Yasuke

Yasuke (弥助/弥介/彌介), aussi connu tardivement sous les noms de Kuro-san ou Kuro-suke (くろ助), est un homme noir africain, arrivé esclave au Japon en juillet 1579. Il rencontre en mars 1581 le daimyo Oda Nobunaga, qui choisit de le prendre à son service. Après la mort de Nobunaga en juin 1582 à la suite de la trahison d'Akechi Mitsuhide, ce dernier épargne Yasuke, dont on perd la trace par la suite. Il n'existe que peu de sources historiques à son sujet, mais au milieu du XXe siècle il inspire un livre pour enfants au Japon. En savoir plus sur Wikipédia
