From what I've read, you have a free choice, so you can approach missions differently with each character. Though I imagine some of them will be pre-defined, for story reasons.
EDIT:
Can you switch freely between the two characters?
Game director Charles Benoit: Yes, you can switch between Yasuke and Naoe at any moment in the open world, once they are united. Of course, it won’t be accessible in the middle of a fight or an infiltration, but we’re giving the control to the players to choose their experience.
There are a few moments where we’re forcing one character, like during their introduction, their personal quests, and a few special missions where both are present at the same time, but I would say most of the game is totally free to choose.
