>Nobunaga heard the noise from the temple where he was staying and expressed a desire to see him. Suspecting the black color of his skin to be black ink, Nobunaga had him strip from the waist up and made him scrub his skin.[6]

He was a slave? The wiki seems to imply he was a servent to some italian and then went into the service of Nobunaga.

Not as interesting as William Adams who did (loosely) get one. Adams, at least, actually had some impact on history beyond being an obscure footnote like Yasuke.
