The were a people of ancient Japan, believed to have lived in the south of Kyūshū〔William George Aston in note 3 in ''Nihongi: Chronicles of Japan from the Earliest Times to A.D. 697'', translated from the original Chinese and Japanese by William George Aston. Book VII, page 192, note 3. Tuttle Publishing. Tra edition (July 2005). First edition published 1972. ISBN 978-0-8048-3674-6〕 until at least the Nara period. William George Aston, in his translation of the ''Nihongi'', says ''Kumaso'' refers to two separate tribes, ''Kuma'' (meaning "bear") and ''So'' (written with the character for "attack" or "layer on").〔William George Aston in note 3 in ''Nihongi: Chronicles of Japan from the Earliest Times to A.D. 697'', translated from the original Chinese and Japanese by William George Aston. Book VII, page 192, note 3. Tuttle Publishing. Tra edition (July 2005). First edition published 1972. ISBN 978-0-8048-3674-6〕 In his translation of the ''Kojiki'', Basil Hall Chamberlain records that the region is also known simply as ''So district'', and elaborates on the ''Yamato''-centric description of a "bear-like" people, based on their violent interactions or physical distinctiveness.〔http://www.sacred-texts.com/shi/kj/kj012.htm#fn_173〕 (The people called ''tsuchigumo'' by the Yamato people provide a better-known example of the transformation of other tribes into legendary monsters. ''Tsuchigumo''—the monstrous "ground spider" of legend—is speculated to refer originally to the native pit dwellings of that people.) As the Yamato pushed southward, the Kumaso people were either assimilated or exterminated. The last leader of the Kumaso, Torishi-Kaya, aka Brave of Kahakami, was assassinated in the winter of 397 by Prince Yamato Takeru of Yamato,〔''Nihongi: Chronicles of Japan from the Earliest Times to A.D. 697'', translated from the original Chinese and Japanese by William George Aston.

Geographically, Aston records that the Kumaso domain encompassed the historical provinces of Hyūga, Ōsumi, and Satsuma (contemporaneous with Aston's translation), or present-day Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures. The word Kuma ('Bear') survives today as Kumamoto Prefecture ('source of the bear'), and Kuma District, Kumamoto. Kuma District is known for a distinct dialect, Kuma Dialect. ==People of the Kumaso mentioned in the Nihongi== *Torishi-Kaya (aka Brave of Kahakami): a leader of the Kumaso〔''Nihongi: Chronicles of Japan from the Earliest Times to A.D. 697'', translated from the original Chinese and Japanese by William George Aston.
