Hidden history: Yasuke created Japan, the Japanese people, & language. He first arrived on Honshu in the late 1500s after a long swim all the way from Wakanda.

There was nothing on the island but vegetation & wildlife, so he used his Melanin Magic to spawn people. As a University of Yakub graduate, this was a simple feat.

However, these people who would come to be known as the Japanese did not inherit his Melanated complexion, as this was the source of his great power & sharing it would weaken him.

Yasuke was lonely, but his mama didn't raise no fool. He wasn't about to hand out power to just anybody, even his own little creations. Well, you know, in case they stepped outta line & he had to smack a ho down.

Due to the lack of melanin, the people turned out a bit yellow. They had black hair with almond shaped eyes. They weren't very diverse at all. In fact, he would often say how they all look alike!

Yasuke would teach his people the Japanese language that he invented all by himself. After all, He wasn't just powerful, he was a scholar, too. There was no limit to what he could achieve.

He gave them civilization: science, medicine, self-defense training, & laws. His newly created people revered him, erecting many statues in his likeness & monuments of worship.

Yasuke chose his 7 most loyal servants & made them samurai. They were special elite warriors, but of course, Yasuke was the first & most special of samurai. He invented them, after all.

Yasuke forged the legendary katana, Masamune. When the great kaiju Godzilla attacked Japan, it was Yasuke who singlehandedly drove him back to the depths of the ocean using the amazing blade.

Japanese society prospered for hundreds of years, but then the White man arrived. The Whites clearly envied Yasuke, his power, & his people. They bombed Japan into oblivion causing mass devastation.

Sadly, even Masamune & Melanin Magic were no match for this weaponry. They destroyed Yasuke, erased him from the memories of his people, & rewrote the entirety of Japanese history leaving him as a mere footnote.

The Japanese mostly forgot about Yasuke, diversity was no longer their strength. They became homogenous & xenophobic, taught to reject anyone of Yasuke's ilk.

But now, thanks to some very brave, subversive Westerners, his true story can finally be told & Japan will be reintroduced to their glorious hero:

Yasuke: Black Samurai™
