<h3>Was the first shogun of japan a black man named Sakonouye Tamuramar?</h3>
Theres talk going around that the first shogun in japan was an African(black) and I remember a japanese scholar saying it's the truth but I forgot his name? Can you help?
<strong>Japan best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by josflachs</i><br/>Sheer nonsense.
How the heck should a black man, alone, be able to reach Japan when the Shogunate started?
Apart from that, how would he, alone, be able to become the most powerful man in Japan? Without any reference to him whatsoever?</p>
