Giovanni Battista Sidotti
Giovanni Battista Sidotti was an Apostolic missionary born in 1668. He went to Japan on a mission to spread Christianity. This was dangerous back then, so he used a samurai disguise. He got caught and then locked up until he died in 1714. A lot of people consider him to be “the last missionary.”
