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!😭🙏🏻

Maybe.. "Dai Ichiban Hikari" or Hikari Oba-sama? Speaking of which, her design reminded me of Asirpa, the Ainu girl from Golden Kamuy series as since Sinnoh is based on Hokkaido, Japan with North settings, cold climate & mountains.

I MIGHT BE VERY WRONG bc i rly dont know abt ainu aesthetics and culture that much but—Sinnoh is based on Hokkaido, which iirc is where the ainu people are from...Dawn’s outfit (mostly the bandanna) really vaguely kinda reminds me of...

Feudal Dawn headwear reminded me of Asirpa, the Ainu girl from Golden Kamuy series. Bcuz Sinnoh is based on Hokkaido, Japan, the settings the feels for warm clothing to wear on North Cold region.

Looks like some Ainu inspired clothing and patterns for the Pokémon trainers in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Left is a canonical Polish person, who lives among Ainu. Right is well known Polish ethnologist Bronisław Piłsudski known best for his studies on Ainu (he also lived among Ainu).
Easter egg or coincidence? How you think?

Akie found a crystal candy cave with her Ainu panda dog, Panpan and her fennec rabbit fox Zuzu. No I'm not happy with how they look drawing animals is hard. Yada, yada.🦊🐰🐶🐼

In Ainu legends, the Good & Evil deities agreed that those who saw the sun rise first would rule the world. While all faced the East, Fox-god looked West & saw the sunrise first as it was reflected from a high peak. & that's why the good spirits rule the Earth.

Hayao Miyazaki also directly references the Emishi people in the film, Princess Mononoke. They are even lesser known than the Ainu and were known for their horsemanship, archery, and cultivation of millet and rice. One of the main characters, Ashitaka, is a banished "prince".
