Thanks to for drawing Ainu. Big tiddy Ainu feels weird to look at. lmao

Most of what we know about the Ainu in the early 17th century comes from the accounts of Christian missionaries, specifically Girolamo de Angelis (left) & Diogo Carvalho (right).

These two were some of the first Westerners to meet & interact with the Ainu, & write about them.

So in the Big Hero 6 comics there's a character called Fred, who was revealed to be of Ainu descent...

And then when they made a movie based on the comic, they turned him into a generic white guy.

[RT appreciated]
"I'm Horohoro, the pride of the Ainu!" ❄️🍃

Wait Golden Kamuy rocks so hard actually. I knew that the series was going to feature an Ainu protagonist going in but I didn’t realise it was going to go into such details about the customs and culture. Asirpa is a wonderful character and I can’t wait to see her journey!

A little Ainu study 😉

Here's some illya-creation lore nobody asked for! Early beta barely-a-character Illya was meant to be something like an Eorzean equivalent of an Ainu (or at least indigenous) because I wanted her to be like sitonai from fgo. But, things changed and she's not really...that anymore

Cataloging was done so the Japanese could settle in Hokkaido & exploit the abundant local resources, resulting in the establishment of the Hokkaido Development Office, and deployment of millitary colonists.

There were though, many outspoken critics of the treatment of the Ainu.

Golden Kamuy by Noda Satoru

A bloody treasure hunt in Hokkaido involving the Russo-Japanese War veterans and the indigenous Ainu people. Like Dorohedoro, this manga features unhinged but very compelling and likable characters, along with irreverent graphic humour. Also F O O D!

Os Ainu também acreditam que a ilha vulcânica de Ushishir seja sagrada.

Ushishir fica no Mar do Norte, entre o Japão e a Rússia, e tem muita importância para os Ainu.

Sabe que Pokémon tem a ver com vulcão? Cinzas, Lava e Explosão? (Cinder-quill, Quill-lava e Typhoon-Explosion)

De acordo com a crença Ainu, Cikap-Kamuy é o deus da fartura, guardião da região e protetor das vilas da região.

E Cikap-Kamuy é representado por uma coruja-dos-urais (Montes Urais... Europa Oriental...)

E que Pokémon e mesmo uma coruja? Ah, sim.

That's a very interesting thought!
In Japan, it is thought that the "Ainu" people who lived in the Shinnoh area (Hokkaido) may have chosen Pokémon with motifs of Blakiston's fish owl, volcanoes, and sea otters, which they believed in!

Sorry for my poor English!😭🙏🏻
