Yasuke is one of two playable characters in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. But unlike the other protagonist, Naoe — the stealthy shinobi who bears the iconic hidden blade — Yasuke is conspicuously absent during the first part of the game.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is finally here, and though it may not be too different from the previous few games in the series, it does have a bunch of new mechanics that you'll need to learn about to be the best shinobi and/or samurai you can be.

Shadows was its dual protagonists: a stealthy shinobi and a formidable samurai. But both are not available right away.
