Yuichi Goza, a Doctor of Letters working as an assistant professor for the International Research Center for Japanese Studies and specializing in medieval Japanese history writes: ~~"My impression from reading this [Lockley's] book is that it doesn't maintain the necessary distance from its subject.~~ Moreover, the book makes some conceptual leaps, presenting unrelated sources as if they are connected to Yasuke. For example, it mentions an anecdote that Yasuke carried Nobunaga’s head and sword out of Honno-ji, stating that this story was "passed down by a family claiming descent from the Oda clan." However, since he doesn't specify who made this claim, it cannot be verified by other researchers."<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Takahashi \|first=Kanji \|date=2024-08-23 \|title=INTERVIEW {{!}} Assassin's Creed Shadows: How Research Can Elevate Historical Fiction {{!}} JAPAN Forward \|url=https://japan-forward.com/interview-assassins-creed-shadows-how-research-can-elevate-historical-fiction/ \|access-date=2024-11-05 \|website=japan-forward.com \|language=en-US}}</ref> == Bibliography ==
