Why would it be a thing for the game about Japanese history to have a protagonist from Japanese history?
I don't think it would be totally unfair for people to feel less than fully represented by someone who doesn't look like them, even if they're a legitimate historical figure. He's also not a native historically either. Japan in particular does have a lot of racist tendencies, as far as who's considered Japanese, to add to the issue.
If the Japanese didn’t think this guy represented the history of Japan very well, then why did they go through the trouble of representing him in their history to this day, for more than 400 years?
