Ainu people
The Ainu or the Aynu (Ainu アィヌ ''Aynu''; Japanese: ''Ainu''; Russian: ''Ajny''), and in historical Japanese texts Ezo/Emishi/Ebisu () or Aino () are an indigenous people of Japan (Hokkaido, and formerly northeastern Honshu) and Russia (Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands).
Historically, they spoke Ainu and related varieties, though today very few can do so. Most of those who identify themselves as Ainu still live in this same region, though the exact number of living Ainu is unknown. This is due to confusion over mixed heritages and to ethnic issues in Japan resulting in those with Ainu backgrounds hiding their identities among the dominant Japanese population. Intermarriage with Japanese has blurred the concept of a pure Ainu ethnic group. The official population has been reported to be around 25,000, while the unofficial population reports have estimated at somewhere around or more than 200,000.〔Poisson, B. 2002, ''The Ainu of Japan'', Lerner Publications, Minneapolis, p.5.〕 Ainu live in both Hokkaido and Honshu Japan, many identifying with ethnic Yamato instead. The estimated Ainu population in Tokyo alone is 5,000.〔(Indigenous Women and Feminism: Politics, Activism, Culture )〕
