AinuPeople

The origins of the AinuPeople are confusing, I am going say that another people from the Russian steppes area invaded at the same time and advanced from the north via Hokkaido at the same time as the YayoiPeople came from the south from either China or the Indanisan Island.

This is an invention for the plot background.

The Ainu, a hunting and fishing people who once populated the main island of Japan and were gradually driven north by the Japanese, also built with thatch roof and walls. An example seen here is from the Ainu museum in Hokkaido. One controversial fact that might also suggest some relation between their religions is the Ainu name for "divinity," kamui, which sounds similar to the Japanese word, kami.
