https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke

The character is based on Yasuke (a real person) and he’s a playable character in the new Assassins Creed set in feudal Japan.

Could they have made the character a Japanese man? Sure. That is a valid complaint. I think Yasuke is also fine considering his story.

... It's a valid complaint to ask that a historical African man be represented as a Japanese man? How?

Do you mean they should have used literally any other historical figure or even a fictional character, as long as it was a Japanese person? There's a second playable character who is Japanese.

But she's also woke. We can't have that.
