In the face of discrimination from his fellow Japanese over his indigenous roots, Atsushi Monbetsu has decided to embrace his traditional Ainu way of life. The 38-year-old recently quit his job as a construction worker to become a professional hunter.

I was born in Hokkaido. I've seen many people who looked similar to him in my city. Although the number of people who identify themselves as Ainu is getting smaller and smaller, their genes have been passed onto many Japanese people, especially ones in some cities in Hokkaido, unbeknownst to themselves.
I got to know about Ainu people by watching "Golden Kamuy".Very underrated anime.One of my favourites.Must watch
@kyleplier yeah, it's such an underrated anime, hyped for the 3rd season
Wont watch cause i dont like anime
Hinna hinna!
@@watching2341 The Ainu guy look kinda like Takeshi Tsuruno (an Japanese actor and singer).
Haven't watched that yet but when i watch shaman king theres a character called horohoro who is ainu native
For interested ones: The Ainu are the descedants of the northern Jomon people. They arrived in Japan more than 30,000 years ago from a region somewhere in Central Asia or Siberia. They are descedants from an paleolithic population which can be traced back to southern Siberia.
But aren’t they genetically more related to East Africans?
*conquered the jomon, not descendants of
@@ZFG1467 They are closer to the Australian aboriginals I believe
@@HandsomeMonkey-King where did u get that idea?Most ainu would be closer to japanese. The closest outside Japan is Andamanese.
@@HandsomeMonkey-King that’s actually true, through genetic they discovered the Ainu, the native adamanese, the first Australians, tibetans, native south asians and Papuan populations are all descendants from the first waves of humans to leave Africa into Asia around 60-80,000 years ago
I'm Polynesian, and people thought I was Ainu in Japan on account of my physiology, beard and hair. I took it as a compliment rather than the intended slight
The Ainu we see today looks Asian or Mongoloid today because they've been mixing with Japanese for a long time, they used to have a more European feature, long and wavy hair, and really long beard.
@h i The Ainu lived in Russia and Japan they had a mix of European and Asian look but with more European features.

Native Americans have to be thankful Caucasians actually built a system that allows them to live as equal citizens and a culture that takes them seriously.
Wishing this young Ainu man all the best of luck! Going back to and preserving the old traditions is very wise in my opinion.
i think it's wonderful to see Indigenous peoples such as Ainu and Maori learning from each other and trying to preserve or revive their languages for the future. it's exciting to think about how technology has brought people together this way
Maori aren't indigenous to new Zealand. They wiped out the natives.
Nothing ashamed for being ethnic-native.
Its awesome.
Thank you.

@@RayFog1which country in europe has an indigenous population? The movement of people is wayy to complex to talk about any real indigenous population, not even indigenous cultures. The only real indigenous thing would be languages which have also been pushed out mostly by germanic and latin languages.
Fun fact: the Ishvalans of Fullmetal Alchemist are based on the Ainu people.
Based Amestris' annexation of Ishbal from Japan's annexation of Ainu lands.

doesnt look that way to me since ive watch both golden kamuy and fma, ishvalan similar to arabian in my eye

日本人でありながらアイヌという少数民族の存在を知ったのはネットです。23年生きてきて日本メディアがアイヌ民族を報道するのは見たことなかったです。この国の政府やメディアが彼らの存在を伏せようとしてるのは何故何だろう？コメント欄にあるように差別があるのは事実だと思います。

確かにアイヌに関してはほとんど報道されませんね
アイヌへの弾圧の過去が取り上げられてるところなんて一度も見たことありません
@@ノッポさん-s3n Forgive me as I'll have to write this in English as my Japanese typing skills are not that great. I'm only half Japanese but my mother (who is Japanese) had some books on the Ainu which explained their past and their situation. However such pieces of media were not all that common in Japan. It is only recent that the Ainu have been looked at more seriously.
Native American here, never be ashamed of who you are. Those people who try to make use feel abnormal are the one who truly feel that way about themselves. They feel guilty and like a fraud Japan as they call it belongs to the Ainu People and it bothers them.
It doesn't. Japan is for Japanese. Japanese people already mistreat foreigners. Ainu are no different. They don't look anything like Japanese.
@@silverhawkscape2677 but ainu are the natives to japan before yamatos
There's no such thing as a "Native American." All the peoples in the Americas migrated from other areas of the planet.
Ainu are indigenous people of Hokkaido island of Japan not of entire Japan because Japan is a island nation Ainu migrate in Hokkaido first . The group of people migrate first to a specific please are indigenous people of that particular land. Yamato people were first to migrate in southern islands of Japan.
So Japan is a country with two indigenous group of
peoples.
It is def not japans fault that they were not able to adapt.
That's so weird since I'm infatuated with learning about the Ainu. What an amazing story!! I really hope they maintain and flourish.
If you're interested in Japan's ethnic minorities, you can also check Ryukyuan people from Okinawa and Kagoshima, Ōbeikei/Bonin Islanders from Bonin Islands, and extinct Emishi from Honshu.
@@XfromDarkHorseso interesting, thanks
@@XfromDarkHorse The Emishi were not an ethnic minority group with a unique culture, but simply a people who lived in the Tohoku region and were not greatly influenced by the ruling powers.
All indigenous people around the world are our connection to the past. Preserve them and be proud of them.
Yes! 💯
He looks like he could be my cousin or brother. And I'm from central america.
Basically, Native American came from North-East Asia ^^
I'm from central america too and his looks were throwing me off. He looks like one of my uncles.
@@OshiyoNatakagi i understand that. I just found it very fascinating.
@Siyovaxsh En-sipad-zid-ana that's why I said North-East Asia. ^^
Before living in America, they had to pass through the detroit of Bering between Siberia and Alaska.
Genetically, Native American are closer to Asian than European or African.
@Chang technically indigenous Americans are of North Asian ancestry
This inspires me to keep trying to learn more about my ancestors and their indigenous ways tho I no longer have a tie to any specific group it’s still nice to learn about the groups we have today and learn to honor and respect their ways and traditions from afar
I'm native Okinawan. Studies have shown that Ainu share some genetics with us. Long story short, we both have more Jomon ancestry than the average Japanese person, who is predominantly of Yayoi descent. Ainu and Okinawans tend to be mostly of Jomon descent.
Because I've seen comments mentioning how the person here kind of looks Hispanic... I often get mistaken as Hispanic too! People try to speak Spanish to me all the time and it takes a moment for them to notice I'm not Hispanic. When I tell them I'm "Japanese," they're usually surprised.
Well, technically because you're actually Ryukyuan lol
@@imprisonedone8054 Not all Ryukyuans are Okinawans, however. I've seen other Ryukyu people use the name Ryukyu or Lew Chew for all the natives of modern day Okinawa prefecture.
Most Japanese are Kofun(Chinese) by dna(around 75%), only 15% Yayoi(Neolithic Northeast Asian) and 10% Jomon

Really?
Very happy to know that!😊😊😊
Prejudices are easy to build but difficult to destroy. The discrimination against them goes way beyond the 1800's and even today, Japanese people are EXTREMELY reticent to acknowledge anyone who looks different as being Japanese. Even half-Japanese people born and raised in Japan aren't acknowledged.
Discrimination happens everywhere any time. Sometimes human can be vile especially when they cannot relate to people and culture that are different from their own. Perhaps due to fear or the need to feel more powerful 🤔
I am from Central America if this guy came to me and said he was my countryman I would believe him
Keep being you bro keep your traditions strong know your self worth no one can ever take that away no matter how much they hate. Stay strong
In Japan there's even discrimination to your blood type.
It is like the difference between Native Americans and White Americans.
Ainu are nothing like modern Japanese people today. This is equivalent to when Europeans colonized the Americas and its indigenous people. Except America still has (albeit few) Native Americans. Modern Japanese were successful in wiping out Ainu and forcing assimilation.
@@iSayMonica Ainu still populates northern Japan and Russian border islands.

If given a chance, I want to visit your place to know and see your preserved culture as Ainu. Be proud of what you are. Thumps up!
I hope they speak their Ainu language more often and regulary and be proud of it.
Unfortunately, there are no native Ainu speakers left and there are very few people considered fluent at all, and they are all pretty old.
@@Figgy5119oh no 😭
It's really tragic how Japanese society treat the Ainu native population. They have a beautiful culture in my opinion. I am Mexican and my great great grandfather from my father's side was born in Okinawa Japan but he was of Ainu descent so i am proud to say i am part descedant of the Ainu people. I am so happy to see these types of documentaries about the Ainu people. They have an amazing culutre and the anime " Golden Kamuy" really highlights some of the amazing aspects of Ainu people and also well as the atrocities that have been committed against them even today with the government of Japan berely starting to recognize them as an indigenoius people.
Wow this video is so interesting! Didn’t know about this at all 😯 Thank you for such a great video, I learned a lot!
Much love from italy
One Time I didn’t say I was Italian 😉 have a lovely day!
1:16 I love that. So creative.
Ainu people and art always gave me a oceania vibe, and he kind of looks like someone that could be related to me (im japanese mixed with micronesian) huh
We are all Proto Mongoloid as well as the likes of Amerindians,Siberians,and Tibetans.
if I ever go over there I want to be around these guys.they are so relateable.
He looks so much like my Peruvian uncle it threw me off for a second. lol
He looks Polynesian
Phenotypically Ainu also resemble some Native Americans of the Pacific and Alaska regions (proof that they were more ancient than the Sinid populations)
All are "Proto Mongoloid" that's why
When I saw Ainu clothing for the first time, I was immediately reminded on how much they've reminded me of Tlingit art. Also little info, but I think some Tlingit did visit the Ainu in japan for some cultural exchange thing?
@@jonajo9757 These are all hypothetical claims! If anything, Ainu culture is very unique if u ask me. And I can definitely sees some Ainu influence in Japanese culture. Maybe Samurai culture has some Jomon elements.
@@jackjackyphantom8854 Samurai battle tactics were originally based on Ainu tactics, as their horse archers were feared and respected.
@@TheRelen222 You mean the Emishi?
Started watching Golden Kamuy yesterday and now this is recommended for me...we need to talk Google.
It’s probably my favorite manga/anime series. It’s very well researched, more people should watch but especially read it. Very sad, yet unsurprising to hear that the Ainu are being oppressed.
Always be proud of your history
With the jomon history, makes me feel that the Japanese people and its culture may actually have some Alaskan and native links besides the dominant east Asian sphere. The Taiwanese have austronesians.
Fascinating. Inuit people span the entire perimeter of the Arctic circle- even Quebec, Greenland and possibly Scandinavia. It's amazing the indigenous people of Japan, Russia, North America and perhaps even Scandinavia...are the same!
@@reneerobinson3559 that could be true. I was told by a professor in California that we are linked to Siberian people. It could be possible that we have links to Greenland and Northern Canada.

Hello, I am ethnic Ainu from Sakhalin - Russia. We are the native population of northern Japan and southeastern Siberia. We are descedants of the Northeast Asian Okhotsk and a paleolithic population from Central Asia which migrated to Japan more than 30,000 years ago. The Northeast Asian Okhotsk people were related to other Northeast Asians and Native Americans, while the paleolithic Central Asians are not closely related to any modern group. The paleolithic Central Asians contributed the "European-like look" as they share some genes with Europeans and Middle Easterners, but not all Ainu had such "European-like look". The majority always looked Northeast Asian or a mix of the two looks. The Ainu language and culture originated largely from the Northeast Asian Okhotsk people, thus we have many similarities to other Northeast Asians, Siberians and Native Americans. It is a misconception that all Ainu are hairy or look European. We do not. The majority of historical Ainu and of modern Ainu is similar to other people around the Sea of Okhotsk. Europeans exaggarated the "European" look among Ainu.
To sum up: We Ainu people came from the combination of the Northeast Asian Okhotsk culture and a paleolithic population which arrived from Central Asia. Thank you all for your interest in my people! :)
Are the other ancient population related to the Ancient North Eurasians?It sounds so,they had Ancestry with the Native Americans and Northerrn Europeans too.

It's not exaggerated when it's true, i pray for deeper study so we can all know the truth. Just like the comment above me, the bone structure of the skull is very telling, it's typical North European. I have been working with Asians for years and i don't know any pure Asiatic people with that kind of bone structure, i'm not talking about the guy in this docu, i'm talking about hundreds of pictures of them, mostly Ainu men, skin color change due to weather but not skull bone structure. Their skull bone structure is similar to North European, but they have body of Asians or Siberians.
This, but also every other native population ever.
i just hope ainu stay exist in japan and in this world, along with their cultures, i wish that from all my heart
And yet Japans entertainment industry prefers Jomon/Ainu looks😂😂😂
I wish he would start a youtube channel teaching cultural practices and arts so the tradition wont get lost or die out
Much respect for you Mr. Monbetsu, I have.
What’s wild to me is he is using a rifle to hunt but I thought Japan had banned those I didn’t know they made any exceptions.
Glad to see more recognition for my indigenous brothers and sisters across the world sad we share a history of mistreatment
I didn't even know it was allowed to have rifles in Japan, lol
technically their laws say that no person may have a firearm or sword, anyone who owns one is an exception
how's he hunting then
@@yaboybouttaturnisraelintoi7329 As an American hunter it would be so cool to hunt with these people and learn their cultures for a weekend. Wouldn't want to come across as rude or imposing though.
Respect for Ainu ppl 🥺🥺🥺
he looks more Polynesian than anything. very interesting culture. can't wait to learn more and perhaps visit northern japan someday.
Yet they're genetically closer to Japanese, especially ones in Okinawa, than to any other group.
@@mfreak1126 You're right,
Jommon DNA can only be found in Japan and small part of Russia, nowhere else.
i think what this guy is doing is actually quite amazing. these practices are not only essential to his culture, but human nature itself. indigenous peoples were the last in our modern times who still lived a natural life and we can learn so much from them that we have unlearned in our domesticated materialst cultures. i am a white person with mixed indo european ancestry but my ancestors too were once conquered by romans and christianity. stop worshipping the systems and religions of those who conquered you and return to nature.
I’ve always thought indigenous people are way cooler, it’s hard for me to imagine anything other than that
The Ainu, Jomon, Ryukyu has connection with Austronesian family tree. Thats why they looks like SEA people
Recent genetic studies (such as most recently in May 2020) found no genetic relation to any Southeast Asian people. But there is evidence of some Jomon influence in ancient Taiwan. Native Taiwanese tribes (Amis and Atayal) were found to have some Jomon ancestry, next to their Austronesian ancestry.

I only got to know about the Ainu people through the manga Golden Kamuy. Their deep knowledge of nature and their beliefs in the spirits of all living animals is so amazing. How they have suffered so much injustice is just beyond me.
Wow, this man looks Polynesian. Like he could easily be a Samoan or Hawaiian.
The argument for who should or shouldn't be allowed to hunt is dumb in my opinion, everyone should have the same chance to feed themselves within reason
Yeah, until people abuse it and there is no game left. Think for half a second please.
@ph0ebus the problem came when it was commercialized, we existed for our entire time on this earth by hunting when we're hungry but when it became a business animals were wiped out....think for half a second please I'm a hunter and it's because of us that there's more than enough game now
@@missourimongoose8858 If you actually knew your history you would know hunting restrictions existed long before the industrial revolution. It existed in both Europe and China. And, please, hunting was always commercialized. Do you think people just lived in straw huts and used bow and arrow to shoot down elk?
@@ph0ebus that's why I said within reason and those hunting restrictions you speak of in europe didn't have a thing to do with conservation and had everything to do with aristocrat's wanting there own private hunting compounds, if it was about conservation we wouldn't of lost the eurochs in the 1600s

Sad how indigenous people everywhere are pressured to conform
Reject modernity, embrace tradition
I've heard of Ainu from the Shaman King manga many years ago.
I’m Nisenan Maidu from what’s now CA. We share some language and architecture with the Ainu! And have oral histories of going across the western ocean to visit and dance with relatives there. ❤
Jomon or ainu is handsome dan beautiful..
First learned of the Ainu from the anime Golden Kamuy. Shame they are disappearing
This wasn’t even a issue until recently. Same with Okinawa just check who is behind raising this issue.
Mind to elaborate?
This has been an issue for thousands of years, with Japan trying so hard to take over other cultures and erase them.
Beautiful warrior.

This is very interesting.
as a east Asian yoyoi I think that japanese people should not be racist and be kinder to the ainu community
Indigenous people seem to get the short end of the stick all over the world.
Not here in my country everyone should be allowed to hunt I hate when vegans say they are allowed to hunt, but I am not...
You’d think they would be treated like rock stars considering how popular living off the land is nowadays (at least in the west). They’re so interesting to me. They kind of just mind their own business just trying to survive.

Ainu was also shown in Samurai Champloo series and how these people were subjugated during the Edo period and nearly wiped out from Japan.
Real japan
Yes Japanese people now from mainland china
Please be proud of who you are!
From Ainu to Manchuria , nothing new with Japanese Samurai
As a Navajo dealing with colonizers laws, media, culture, and acceptance my tribe deal with.
I hope Ainu get their acceptance and recognition in Japan from their colonizers.
The same thing happened to the indigenous people of northern India, too... I guess it's really the same for every indigenous group across the world, isn't it? They have no protection against expanding agricultural societies.
There MUST BE a way to fix this. There has to be.
may I ask your ethnical background?
@@bluesky8033 Hi! I'm so sorry, I didn't see your reply...

I'm from Malaysia. In my country indigenous people were treated specially. They even have their own welfare department. Government also provide them education opportunities in science schools and universities.
Northern India?? Do you mean Arunachal Pradesh? There are virtually no natives in Northern India, the primary natives are the Dravidians in the south of the country, such as the Tamils. Groups like the Assamese and Naga are Mongoloid groups.
This dude could pass for Polynesian, Eskimo, Native American, or Asian/ Caucasian mix. Interesting.
Yes cos they preserved ancient east Eurasian looks
The forefathers of the Ainu the Jamon played an important part in the Samurai's creation amd the emishi played a key role too
I’m Ainu, and happy to watch a video about my people.
Your people is similar to us Natives. When was playin arcade, I choose Nakoruru. She's Ainu girl.
I love this dude....
Indigenous peoples let’s unite
I'm a bit shocked that an anti-discrimination law against Ainu people was only passed in 2019. I can imagine how difficult it is being a minority in your own land, especially in an extremely homogenous country like Japan.
Don't put lghdtv on the same level as ethnic people, they are different.
LGHDTV vanish please
Japanese tend to brag about the Jomon culture, but they look down on the two surviving ethnic groups that are more closely connected to the original Jomon people, the Ainu and the Okinawans. Modern day Yamato people do have some Jomon blood, but it’s been diluted to between 10-20%. If anything, the Japanese government should try to preserve the Jomon heritage by protecting the minority cultures and supporting revival of their traditions. (Prolly the Okinawans don’t need much help tho, because their culture is still quite alive and resilient.)
So only around 15% of modern japanese people have jomon blood whereas the other 85% is purely yayoi?
I live in Japan and have never seen this bragging or apparent hate of Ainu or Okinawans. Most people seem to regard themselves all as the same group.
He should be respected and honored. After all, the Ainu will always be the first face of Japan. 🙏❤️💯🥋
Free Ainu People.
@ 😁🤣🤣you wrong for that
The Ainu are not really a thing anymore, they are all assimilated.
No disrespect intended but I do want to appreciate Golden Kamuy for informing me about the Ainu! All I did was look up hunting in Japan and it brought me here 🥲.
The man has features that resemble many Nepalese/Himalayan people. That's expected because one of the ancestral populations of the Jomon is related to the Kusunda who are tribal group in Nepal that is a mix of Ancient Ancestral Southern Indian (AASI) and Northern East Asian (NEA).
Free Hokkaido. If Japan say Taiwan is not part of China, then Hokkaido is not part of Japan neither.
Yeah both Japan and China are killing

Free america 😂🤣
Free Manchuria.
Love every ancient remnants, people, and culture of my people from Ryukyu to Ainu. We were darker skin before light.
Lived in Japan for centuries!!! No they've in Japan for millenniums
I found out I have recent Ainu ancestry. So cool! But, I have no idea what to do with that knowledge. 😅
He looks very similar to the Native Americans who live on the Pacific Northwest regions on North America, like the Tlingit. The Ainu have similar totem poles, tepees, and other traditions/customs found in Native populations
When I worked at a hospital one of my patients liked learning about Ancient cultures…He was reading Shogun, and I said that the Shoguns and the Samurais were probably Ainu because of their long beards and tall frames…Years later I found out I was right. All it takes is to read more, and you learn
You were right???The Ainus didn't have a horse culture...the Emishi did.And the Emishi were a mixture of different groups with a bit of maybe Ainu too.Its the Emishi who migrated northwards that influenced the Ainu.The Samurai have predominantly always been Yayoi with minor admixture in the frontier families.
Name the Samurai families that were Ainu.DNA test of the mummies of the frontier families like Ando and Abe have clearly shown them to be Yayoi,not even Emishi let alone Ainu.
@@anda134 I was right about the Samurais. I said PROBABLY for Shoguns. Other than that, I have nothing more to explain to you
@@paisleyprincess7996 which samurai families were Ainu?
I don't understand it, I love natives of all cultures. It's part of the reason I want to become a teacher to teach true history, and express these hidden cultures
I relate to this story I’m Anglo-Romany and a lot of the culture has been eroded by oppression and forced assimilation, barely any of us speak the full language by now and mainly use words as idiolect within English. Even as a teen I would be beaten, by groups sometimes, if they knew I was a gypsy as a sort of trophy to say they beat up a gypsy, I’m 26 now so it wasn’t long ago (this is more of a problem as teens). I was also given speech and language therapy by my school even though I was in the top reading group and had a strong vocabulary, this was to change my accent as it was elocution lessons but called something else. I am English as are my family but I was treated like some sort of criminal refugee for my heritage.
I didn’t know Japan had indigenous people, very interesting I’ll make my research on them.
Indigenous people get discriminated almost everywhere sadly.
Same as black people, and the whole humanity came out of África lol
Especially in America and Australia, it never ends it seems
