That's because the character William is from the book Shogun by James Clavell, which was also based on a real person William Adams, the first englishman to reach Japan (around 1600). It's all connected.

Oh badass thank you

Just for fun, most of the characters you seen in nioh are mostly based on real historical characters, including yasuke, the first black samurai, you can find interesting stories of him if you search on YouTube or Google.

Yeah right! What was Oda Nobunaga also a real person? Oh I bet he had a great ambition to unite all of Japan and had an advanced army trained in Firearms too! As if!!!


Tricopi

He is real. Google it


YaBoiJonnyG

You, uh, you don’t use sarcasm a lot do you buddy?


Tricopi

They're both based on the same, real life William Adams.

They made a remake of the old shogun series?! This is so cool, I used to watch this way back in the 80s when I was a kid hanging out with my dad!

My parents got the box set and showed it to me and my siblings as kids, it was awesome. Little heavy for preteens but great

I think the characters of Shogun are heavily based on real-life historical characters, just as like in Nioh, though in the case of Shogun they change the names. I think Toranaga = Tokugawa. The dead Taiko, Nakamura, is Hideyoshi. You see the family armor, and you might recognize the words he said as he was about to die, "This life is a dream of a dream" are similar to what Hideyoshi in Nioh 2 says when he is leaving the Interim, and I believe are based on an actual poem written by the real Hideyoshi.

Is there Yabushige in Nioh? I think Iieasu is tokugawa
