I happen to believe he was not since it would be pretty known and recorded if he was made an actual Samurai.
Nice try at a gotcha though. I swear people here have real issues actually communicating, always searching for that moment.

Samurai isn't an actual rank. It's a word Westerners use to commonly mean Bushi (as in a member of the Bushi class), which Yasuke was. Then they say dumb shit like "oh he was a retainer", which is a translation of , literally a member of the Bushi class. None of you speak Japanese or care about the culture, but you sure do love pretending so you can use it as a cudgel against a black man.
