  1. No records of him getting samurai status. All the actual records show that he was considered as exotic pet for Oda. Only recorded battle he ever partaked in, ended up him surrendering and getting banished. Note... Warriors don't surrender in japanese culture. They fight to the end or commit seppoku. The feudal lord who captured him pitied him and even insulted as a beast. Then exiled him back to slave life. Reminder... the paintings depicting him just shows him carrying umbrella for his lord. He wasn't samurai, notable character in Oda's history, though had 0 influence on the course of history or anything else in that matter.
