Williams Adams and the Western Samurai
Did you take one look at William Adams, the protagonist of Nioh, and think this was another Tom Cruise-Last Samurai situation? As it turns out, Adams is actually based off of a real-life sailor by the same name that sailed on an expedition to Japan and became the first English navigator to reach the country in 1600. Not only was Adams an advisor to the shogun at the time but was also the first ever Western Samurai. No, he probably didn’t fight monsters but a Western Samurai is still fairly legit.
