Great EDOS, eDO nìmòsé. You can not talk the history of Nigeria without mentioning the EDOS.

The Edo Period of Japan refers to the years from 1603 until 1868 when the Tokugawa family ruled Japan. The era is named after the city of Edo, modern-day Tokyo. Yes. The former name of Tokyo was EDO.

A growing number of scholars are saying that the ancient EDO PEOPLE of Nigeria perhaps during the time of the mighty Benin Empire migrated to and settled in Japan, and eventually, their heirs established the EDO PERIOD of Japan, which was said to be a highly prosperous era.

Lord taranaga which real name is Lord Leyasu was the founder of Edo village present day tokyo.

Quintessence44:
It's actually spelt 'IeYasu'.

The Edo Period was a military regime, and Tokugawa IeYasu was a military commander who began the Edo Period by seizing power with his men.

Interestingly, the title of the Benin Kingdom's military commander, second in power only to the Oba, was and still is, the Iyase.

Another 'coincidence'?

I don't think so...

One more thing. Edo warriors were called 'Ogun'.

Japanese warriors were called 'Shogun'.

the benin empire is recorded to have started in 1440...Fastforward to the Tokugawa Dynasty, twenty years before tokugawa became the shogun, the first recorded black samurai of African descent was Yasuke.
He served as a retainer to Lord Oda Nobunaga. It was recorded that yasuke was a slave to an italian priest in Japan and Oda Nobunaga was very curious to see the blackman.
Meaning there was rarely a blackman in sight at that time...Lord Nobunaga took in Yasuke..he made him a samurai and named him "Yasuke".
And yasuke is believed to have originally come from Mozambique,unless benin people get branch for Mozambique
