Loosely based on the historical figure of the same name, Yasuke comes from creator LeSean Thomas (The Boondocks), with Stanfield on board as an executive producer alongside Grammy-winning artist Flying Lotus.
Yasuke will be available to stream on Netflix from April 29, 2021.
Here, he encounters a singer at a local bar named Ichika and her daughter Saki, a sick girl with mysterious magical powers.
The story of Yasuke in fact has parallels with Thomas’ own life.
