Speaking as someone who did heavily focus on Japanese history in school, I have always considered Yasuke to either be A) a samurai or B) so close to one that it's honestly not worth drawing the distinction. It's commonly agreed upon that he was A) given a sword by Nobunaga, B) given residence in Nobunaga's palaces, C) given a stipend, and D) he was a bladebearer/personal bodyguard for the daimyo himself. The only thing that complicates things is that Nobunaga didn't live long enough to elevate Yasuke to full-on landowner status before Mitsuhide killed him and let Yasuke go. He was only with Nobunaga for around a year before the Honnoji massacre.
But frankly, he had all of the classical emblems of samurai status, so I see very little reason to hem and haw over the particularities of his exact historical title. It's never been a particular point of contention until racist idiots decided to make it a culture war.
