Today we're talking with Professor Thomas Lockley about his critical work in reinvigorating the story of Yasuke, the only non-Japanese Samurai. From starting riots in Japan with only his appearance to eventually chopping off the head of the greatest warlord in Japanese history, Yasuke's story has experienced a resurgence in recent years, with a new Netflix anime bearing his name as well as a major Hollywood movie currently in production.

Thomas Lockley is Associate Professor at Nihon University College of Law in Tokyo, where he teaches courses about the international and multicultural history of Japan and East Asia. He has published several dozen research papers and articles, including the first in the world regarding the life of Yasuke. He cowrote the groundbreaking book “African Samurai: The True Story of a Legendary Black Warrior in Feudal Japan” with Geoffrey Girard in 2019, and is currently working on his first educational manga series. When it comes to Yasuke, Thomas is THE expert, and it was an immense honor to have him on the show.
