I was born in northern Japan and I am a descendants of Ainu. There are still so many Ainu languages and cultures in northern Japan. Northern Japanese are tend to have light skin, wet earwax, and wavy hair. And they speak another language which totally different from modern Japanese. Haha! And we know how to fight with bear!! 🐻

I lived in Hokkaido for a year and befriended a lot of local Ainu who are trying to reconnect with their culture. Really happy you decided to include a cultural history lesson on them.

1 minute of silence for people who just ate their own ear wax

“ Did you know that Asians has two patterns of teeth? “ Me : Wait, I have?

I learnt a lot of the Ainu culture reading a Manga called "golden-kamui", a really good one.

I commented on here about 6 months ago to praise your work. I wanted to come back and just emphasize the appreciation and admiration I have for the entire series you have done. Categorizing and breaking down the entire history of Japan is an ambitious feat that often is erroneously truncated or summarily disregarded entirely. As a person with the focus study region being Asia (Cringe I know that even in Liberal Arts the institution manages to generalize a complex, unique, and wholly different group of peoples into one arbitrary category) of their Bachelor of Science in History degree, I do really want to let you know that again I greatly appreciate this series. It's important that people know about the world even if it's somewhere you might never get to visit for the simple fact that it enriches the soul. I love to revisit your RU-vid historical series occasionally when I am utilizing public transit because each time I'll manage to catch something I didn't remember/retain from my last time listening. Please keep up the good work and if it interests you I would love to hear a series that might go into more detail on specifics from a particular era or maybe something about other significant mythologies from Japanese culture. I am always enjoying being humbled through the knowledge of others and I love to find out that I know less and less so my thirst as well as curiosity is continuously enflamed.

You would make the most fascinating, and hilarious Asian History professor ever! I’ve learned more from you in one evening than a whole semester of college ( years ago when I was actually in college)

I'm part Japanese and have shovel teeth. I thought it was just random, but now I see where I got it from.

Thank you for introducing the history of Japan. As a Japanese, I would like to thank you.

This religion is woke, Gods are food. I’m a follower now

I can't believe you managed to get people to eat their own ear wax....impressive.

I almost read YAYOI as YAOI. Gosh, I need to put my mind out of the gutter.

A lot of the Ainu culture reminds me of my own Anishinaabe culture. We even look somewhat similar. I always wondered if we shared ancient ancestors

Omg. Wait. Brother bear was in Japan?!

This video was incredibly comprehensive and well-researched. It is not only impressive but engaging and fun.

This is really good with great humour. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of this playlist

That Brendan Fraiser joke did not age well.

*wants to learn about Japanese history* *learns more than I wanted about shovel teeth and earwax*

Why in our schools and colleges we don't get these kind of history teacher Your history-telling style is amazing❤️

ancestor of modern japanese is call Shinobi Era..Konoha village were there..

Thanks for mentioning Ainu because I would have been upset. You should actually look up the war history of japan and you can trace a lot of the “migration” I have family in Hokkaido and look japanese 100% but very hairy like Ainu. Makes sense as other ainu found in other regions of the world are called “Eskimo” I think japan is a mix of Ainu and the two migrations mixing for thousands of years. Taiwan also is known to have had indigenous people which I believe were the same Ainu people who migrated down south. The polar ice cap at the North Pole when frozen connected the lands in the end of the ice age which let travelers move further out. There is so much mystery to history and we can only speculate but how fun. Great vid dude

I love your channel. It gives so much interesting facts about Japan. The way you explained is so much fun.

All of that accumulating to humans breastfeeding bears.... What was i just watching? Lol

There is an anime called golden kamui, it talks a lot about the ainu and seems to explain a lot about the culture. The anime is also quite entertaining set after ww2

A lot of visiting foreigners have always wondered why ear cleaners are a very common souvenir in gift shops, as who would want to just the same wooden or metal stick again and again to clean out sticky ears. It's because most Japanese people have dry earwax! I don't know if there's been a formal study, but I've only heard that with most half-Japanese people, they usually have the wet earwax, or at least slightly wet earwax. Perhaps dry earwax is a recessive trait?

When bears were livestock. That is amazing. This series is SO very cool.

When I went to Japan, I was so upset I didn't go to the Ainu cultural center because I was afraid to be stranded and ended up getting only a glimpse from the gift shop in the airport. Next time, Hokkaido is going to be all about them, I swear.

I am learning SO much! I'm grossed out by earwax in your mouth (🤢) but AMAZED the HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS did a study and *EXTRACTED* DNA and mapped their findings!! Amazing!! I'm so inspired! Thank you so much for this amazing video, and for sharing your beautiful culture and your glorious history! ❤️❤️❤️

I love how cute your character designs are how you draw ppl in such a cute way even hardened samurai look so cute

That's a terrific upload. Very informative and fun to watch. I have learned a lot. Thank you 😊

I really like your channel! I'm happy youtube recommended you to me. 💜

You make some of the most interesting videos. Thanks for doing this.

i didn’t know other people didn’t have shovel teeth thats actually kinda crazy! Love your channel! Its so cool learning the history to our culture :))

I'm too addicted to ur videos I've watched about 30 in the last few days

The Ainu people are their version Of native Americans

Of course there weren't any "Japanese" or "Koreans" back in ancient times, but FYI the ancient Koreans also worshipped bear. As a matter of fact, the first ruler officially accepted in history was born between the Son of Heaven and a bear. They interprete the myth as a marriage between a migrant rulers from the Steppes and the indigenous tribal princess where bear was worshipped in their Totem tradition. And bear is go/co'm in modern Korean, and it also means the summit, head or center. In modern Japanese com/kam-i means god ;^)

5:38 Golden Kamui readers can be smug about this.

I am beginning my studies in Anthropology and plan on focusing on Asian Culture/ Biological development. This channel is a great intro for me while I wait for classes to start 😊

...like Brendan Fraser's career looool. I'm subbing for your sense of humour.

Just realised I wasn’t subscribed. RU-vid has given me so many of your awesome videos that I thought I had already. Subscribing now. 😁

Wow. That was interesting. By the way, I loved the drawings.

(7:47) Down it, down it, down it! Haha But seriously, very interesting. I look forward to binge watching these videos later! Have a nice day!

Please do more videos on archeology and history like this! Your videos are informative and awesome, I learned a lot. Are you interested in doing this type videos on Turkic peoples in Central Asia?

Wow. This is a really accurate video!

I knew about the Ainu, I had a brief informative from the book hitching rides with Buddha. It’s a view of Japan from a westerner from when he hitched rides from people to make it from one end of Japan to the other. It’s quite good.

golden kamuy people be like "I nOW aInU"

Japan doesn't like history unless it's favorable and beneficial to their ego

That Brendan Fraser joke didn't age well, he just won an Oscar (enjoying the series)

I'm from Hokkaido and I learned about the Ainu culture and a little bit of their language when I was a child. But I didn't know that they had pet bears.

You got me to eat my ear wax. Have a sub

one of my ears have wet earwax and the other has dry earwax

Great video, fascinating stuff! Thanks!

It's really clear and intresting!! Thank you for your work X3!

“I hail from the ryukyu islands!”

My mom is from China, and according to her, Japanese come from a lost boat of Chinese children. I told a Chinese friend about this and they said it was true. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I fucking love this guy This explains are awesome easy to follow and funny And his way talking... Really entertaining ☺️ Love you man, and wish you achieve greatness

I'm glad Brendan Frasier got a come back. He's such a good actor.😀

So the Japanese are a descended fusion of the indigenous people who arrived in 35,000 BC and people from China.

Me: Why is 99% of people are talking about earwax Me 1 minute later: ok I have dry earwax they taste like sand, I dont like sand -Anakin Skywalker 2002

I did my ancestry DNA test n found out I was a mixture of Korean, Japanese and Chinese.

well, now we know there where three waves of migration... i would love to hear it with you as the narrator. i simply love this channel.

Like it, educational, but at same time, funny

1:35 so thats how cartoon artist from madison square avenue trying to sell salt came up with the idea of a buck-tooth cartoon of a japanese

They came from Korea to Shimonoseki on the Kampu Ferry!

Sushi Korean BBQ Chow Mein Can't we all be friends in the comment section

Your channel is very informative. I rather enjoy watching these ancient history videos!

Very interesting !

2:19 I don't know why I found that so funny

i like Brenden Frazier

The amount of time you mention Taiwan makes me feel proud since I'm Taiwanese and don't usually hear many things about Taiwan in videos

Hey bro , I don't wanna tell you what to do, but in my opinion , it would be awesome if there was a scale on the maps , so I could estimate the distances :) I love your channel

This series is one of your more interesting.

I am Ainu, thank you for informing people about us, we still exist!

You get an upvote already, and I just laughed at the Brendan Fraser joke. Thanks for that. :)

I am from Ophir , Yamato colony was formed by Gaya Kingdom of Korea, along with every other colony in Japan. Korean kingdom ( e.g., Baekje, Goguryo, Shilla, Gaya), had set up their own proxy government and colonies in Japan even before it became a nation known as Japan. In the end, it was the Baekje consortium that had conquered all other colonies and formed the nation of Japan and established the very first capital called, Nara. Japanese were taught to refer to Baekje kingdom as Kudara, which originated from Korean word, Kun Nara, which means a big nation. Yamatay is the original name of Yamato colony. It might be easier if you think of Japan as the New England area of the United States that became British colonies. Emperor Hirohito had wanted to bring this to light before his death but the Japanese government would not let him say this in public. But few years ago, his son, Emperor Akihito had carried out his father's wishes by partially admitting that he has descended from a Korean royal family. This is only the tip of the iceberg. The entire history of Japan has yet been told.

Great info. Nice humor. 👍

Wow very detailed explanation. Thanks!

I heard that the first Japanese migrated from Korea, with the evidence being that early Koreans and early Japanese both had keyhole tombs but that Korea's were older.

7:16 dang :O

A group of Koreans went to Japan during the Three Kingdom Period (mostly from SW Korea/Kudara) for the purpose of colonizing the main island. These Koreans then went on to conquered and colonized most of the native tribes in Japan's main island (like the Jomons, Ainus, Emishi, Hayatos, Saekis, etc.) and created a nation. By a conservative account, close to two million of various ethnic groups on the main island have perished for refusing to assimilate, and many have escaped to north of Hokkaido and many more have escaped to south to the Ryukyus. Many Japanese deny this out of shame but this was such a cataclysmic event, it was even recorded in ancient India, as well as China and Mongolia. Most Japanese anthropologists as well as majority of western anthropologists have accepted this anthropogenesis.

Great video, incredibly informative and easy to understand. Just one thing, "soot" should be pronounced as "sut" I believe, "u" as in "put".

Great video!

Yayoi is related to the Korean peninsular.

Koreans will always say Japanese came from Korea

*SOURCES* FOR THE SCIENCE IN THIS VID PLEASE?

At least one point is certain, that is, from the China pre -Qin dynasty , there have been 4 times large -scale immigrants from Chinese to enter the Japanese islands, which have a profound impact on the historical trends of China and Japan. Ancient Chinese carefully taught the primitives of Japan at the time to teach the knowledge of rice, cutting wells, manufacturing agricultural tools, spreading medicine, textiles and other knowledge. They pushed Japan from the brutal primitive society to a slave society. Chinese Han people's four large -scale immigrants enter the Japanese islands record : 1. Qin and Han Dynasty Qin Shihuang (秦始皇 259-210 BC) swept the six regions. In order to escape the war, the Chinese people fled to Japan in two ways: Some Chinese people crossed the sea from the Northeast to the Korean Peninsula to Japan. Japan. 2. During the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties (420 -589 BC) During the period of "Upheaval of the Five Barbarians 五胡亂華", in order to avoid the war, the Chinese people began a wave of migration to a large -scale migration around. Most of the fleeing Chinese finally went to Japan, forming the climax of immigration to Japan. The representative is Liu Azhi (劉阿知), the descendant of Emperor Han Xian(漢獻帝). 3. The Sui and Tang Dynasties (581-907 BC) Japan sent a large -scale Tang ambassador to China to visit China, while China sent a large number of people to spread advanced technology and culture to Japan. Most of these people are monks or cultural scholars. They are left as required by the Japanese because of the difficult sailing and welcomed by Japan. They often stay and "domestication" into the Japanese. The representative is the monk Jianzhen(監真). 4. The Song (960-1279)and Ming dynasties(1368-1644) In the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people in the southern Song Dynasty broke their families. In order to avoid the war and kill, they moved to Japan one after another. The representative of this period was scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty - Lanxi Daolong(蘭溪道隆).

oh wait till you know that brendan fraser making his comeback with a great movie

I have shovel teeth but I'm a Filipino without a Chinese blood.

Ainu owning a bear.... So Russians?

What a brilliant video; some guy rambling on about stuff that obviously interests him but still with a nice sense of humor; I learned more about the Japanese from this than from hours and hours of pretentious overproduced crap; nice one mate.

I learned a lot today

Perfect , great sense of humor also

Do I have both sinodonty teeth and sundadonty because I am half Japanese part Filipino part chinese

Brendan Fraiser had been sexually assaulted back in the '90s many times. When he used to try and speak up he would lose big roles, he lost projects and work was taken away. He struggled finding work after this and finally got some redemption in the #MeToo Movement when he spoke about his past experience with Sexual Assault and finally got people to listen to his tragic downfall. Before this, people would just block and blacklist him when he tried to speak about it.

A folk tale called "Yeonorang and Seonyeo" is handed down to Busan, Korea. The two were married, and Yeonorang went to the sea to dig for seaweed as always, but never returned. This is because the rock he climbed on the beach moved and floated to the sea. Seonyeo sat in front of the sea crying, longing for Yeonorang. Then one day, the rock that Yeonorang rode appears in front of Seonyeo. She gets on the rock because she thinks it will take her to her husband, and she meets her husband, who became the king of the island country when she arrives. It is assumed that Japan is the island country where Yeonorang and Seonyeo crossed. I saw that the king of Japan interviewed himself as a descendant of the Baekje king in the past. However, Yeonorang was neither a Baekje man nor a king. It's just a Korean folk tale, but it's quite interesting.

Okay, the ART though, boy thats waayyy too awesome.

Thanks for great video

WAIT! I'm white and I have shovel teeth. My heritage is English, German, French, and Scottish. There is a possibility that I have some Cherokee in me since my great grandfather was adopted.

I google image searched yayoi and now I am very confused
