  • Wikipedia 26 August 2019: João Rodrigues Tçuzu; Not to be confused with the contemporary Jesuit in East Asia João Rodrigues "Girão" (1559-1629) (João Rodrigues (1561 or 1562 – 1633 or 1634), distinguished as Tçuzu and also known by other names in China and Korea, was a Portuguese sailor, warrior, and Jesuit interpreter, missionary, priest, and scholar in Japan and China. He is now best known for his linguistic works on the Japanese language, including The Art of the Japanese Language. João Rodrigues's epithet Tçuzu was an early Portuguese transcription of his Japanese descriptor Tsūji (Japanese: 通事, "the Interpreter"), distinguishing him from a contemporary Jesuit in the Chinese mission. His surname sometimes appears in its old Portuguese form Rodriguez, the form he himself used in his Portuguese works; his epithet is sometimes mistakenly written as Tçuzzu. In Japan and China, Rodrigues used the Chinese name Lu Ruohan (陸若漢). In modern Korean sources, Rodrigues's name is written with the pronunciation Yuk Yakhan[5] (육약한). In 19th- and early 20th-century sources, his name appears as "Jean Niouk". After some time as a sailor, then a soldier in Japan, he joined the Jesuits in December 1580, aged around 19, He was fluent in Japanese and could read Chinese, and was recognized as an interpreter; he also seems to have known some Italian, and some Indian language. In 1614 he was forced to leave Japan for Macau, and worked as a missionary in China, and an interpreter for arms traders. His death was reported in a letter to Rome dated 20 March 1634.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%A3o_Rodrigues_T%C3%A7uzu
