* ''Distinction: Interpreter''

Anjiro was from [[Satsuma province]], from whence he fled to Goa after committing a murder. There he met [[Francis Xavier|St. Francis Xavier]] ([[1506]]-[[1552]]) and returned to Japan with him as an interpreter. His (at times inaccurate) description of Japan - and in particular her native religions - was of considerable interest to the missionaries at Goa and was much studied. Unfortunately for Xavier, Anjiro’s poor skills as a interpreter proved a hindrance in Japan itself.
