I was researching Imperial Japanese Navy officers when I came across Ibō Takahashi, who was born into an Eastern Orthodox samurai family and became an admiral in during World War II. I assume his family would have converted to Eastern Orthodoxy sometime before the Sakoku Period. I also assume such conversions were exceedingly rare, because Takahashi is the first Japanese Orthodox I have read about, and the Wikipedia list of Japanese Orthodox contains only five people besides Takahashi.
I'm wondering what kind of PoD might have resulted in Eastern Orthodoxy becoming more common in Japan, preferably before the Sakoku Period.
