For the record, I’d be ignoring this bit of culture war nonsense if they weren’t making and planning fictional works based on this little known historic figure, a trivia footnote in the history of the samurai. This is happening for cultural reasons rather than historic accuracy or good story reasons, so the end product is destined to fail based on recent media failings. It is funny watching the people who complain about cultural appropriation (like in the recent Daily Video where a black girl in a kimono using the word “kawaii” bothered everyone except the Japanese) are now guilty of it with something that actually matters to the Japanese. Apparently they learned nothing from the “black Cleopatra” debacle.
