Ignoring the fact that William is actually very well documented Nioh isn't based on historical accuracy and starts you out with the premise of being historical fiction with literal magic guardian spirits protecting people and an insane man trying to use magic to overtake the world. All the major historical figures use magic, all of them fight battles with magic, all their decisions are influenced by magic, Yokai are active parts of the world that normal people have to deal with and are plagued by, all the leaders of Japan are either fighting or using Yokai to their benefit, and many areas are plagued by literal evil spirits haunting locations or wartorn areas.

Assassin's Creed as a series is defined by the fact that its universe is 1:1 ours except we don't know the true history of it because it's been forgotten, obfuscated, or intentionally removed. If you were placed into the AC universe right after you read this post then nothing would change except Abstergo is like Google, Microsoft, and Apple mixed into one super company that is mostly a monopoly across the globe and that's basically it. Everything you can find online is 1:1 what we can find in our libraries, books, and on the internet. This means that when you actively have to think about the situation for five seconds, which only gets worse thanks to how Yasuke actually functions in the world of Shadows, it becomes impossible to believe he was forgotten or lost to history as he canonically directly interacted with major Japanese players, was a student of a very prestigious swordsman, every single basic civilian you walk by says "Samurai" or knows who Yasuke is and bows to him or at the very least rushes out of his way, and even guards react to him differently when he's in a restricted area appreciating his restraint as a samurai instead of shouting at him like Naoe.

It's unbelievable that Yasuke, especially as presented in the game, would be able to do anything he does in the game with no record.
