This video offers a sharp critique of how indigenous histories are co-opted for external political narratives, restoring focus to the lived experiences of the Ainu and Ryukyuans. It effectively challenges the weaponization of history while maintaining a clear, factual account of cultural assimilation.

I Exposed The Chinese Propaganda about Native JapaneseAdded:
These people aren't Japanese, Chinese, or even Korean. Neither is this American legend, nor all these people. They're actually Ryukyuan. But, why? See, the Ryukyu people were people that inhabited the southern islands of Japan as you Oh, propaganda.
Yeah, pure pure propaganda that I'm going to explain to you what they're trying to do, okay? Pure propaganda.
There's nobody who would who would fight back against this propaganda, so I'm going to do it. Just wait a second, guys. can see pictured here, with the most famous one being Okinawa. Most of history, they had their own kingdom, and it was called Ryukyu Okoku, which means Ryukyu Kingdom. They had their own king, their own court, and their own culture.
They didn't even speak Japanese, they spoke Ryukyuan or Luchuan. They looked different, they dressed different, they even had their own religion centered on a female priestess [music] called Noro that was more powerful than most men in Okinawa. They only became [music] part of Japan in 1609 when the Satsuma Domain conquered them. So, the Satsuma, like southern part of the state, just conquered the Okinawa part.
First of all, the Satsuma Han, right?
Satsuma Domain people, like they are also one of the people that became one of Japanese people. So, this You see Satsuma here? So, Japan was basically different country back in the days, right? 3,000 years ago, okay? Guys, do you see Do you see this? So, Satsuma, where he explain where he explains this one, are these people? Do you see the differences of their face, though? Like Oh, uh Okinawans uh look different. What about these people?
They're Japanese, too. 3,000 years ago, Japanese emperor just conquered all Japan, right? Gradually, uh like a lot of tribes became one of part of Japanese. When this guy says Kagoshima conquered, the people from here was not part of Japan 3,000 years ago. So, Japan is basically bunch of different tribes who used to live in Japanese island became together and mixed around and then when then we became Japanese, right? So, you they say Ryukyu ones look different, then this guy says this Kagoshima. You see this guy? Does he look different or not? This guy is the one made Ryukyu ones become Japanese.
The even crazier part is that when the Satsuma Domain invaded, they literally banned weapons. These people could not I'm Japanese, where I come from also conquered by Satsuma. This this guy. My state was conquered by this state, by this guy, and Ryukyuans also were controlled by the strong state because Satsuma was strong. It's like no difference. I'm Japanese, Ryukyuans Ryukyu People from Ryukyu is Japanese.
We were treated the same way. use any weapons like swords, bows. So, they started developing their own form of martial arts using [music] farming tools and also their bare hands, which freaking became karate. Then quick anecdote, like karate means empty hand, but it was also written as karate. And this kara is also Bro, what How is this How is this guy like making this up?
This completely different word. Tang, which is also Tang in Chinese. [music] Tang? But, every time, bro, it's like whenever it happens, they want to say that they want to say like, "Oh, oh, sushi is from China. Karate is from China. Everything came from China."
That's what they say. which is Tang Chao, which means the Tang Chao. So, karate suddenly became a a a martial arts from Tang Chao, from like random dynasty. What the heck?
Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty used to teach the Ryukyuans martial arts back in [music] the 1300s. Unfortunately, in 1879, Japan decided to fully take over control of Ryukyu Kingdom. They kicked [music] out the king. The king? Like I don't even know if this guy is the king, okay? So, in Japan, there's this guy, descendant of previous the dynasty of Okinawa. He is saying that they Okinawa, the dynasty, decided to be with Japan long long time ago. If the descendant of the kingdom says they want to be part of Japan, what am I supposed to do? Like everybody, like Japan Bro, just like every country, it was different tribes, man. And I know guy from Okinawa, they're my friend, they're conservative.
They said they don't want to be part of China. We are Japanese, they're so proud, though. Just like I am. It's like I chose to be a Japanese. It's like I have allegiance to Japan. Like nobody want to be part of China. Really? You want to be part of Japan or part of this China? Bro, bro, no-brainers. Easy. And now known as Okinawa. If you're American, you've probably heard of Okinawa, and it's because of the World War crazy battles. But, Okinawa is an absolute beautiful place. It's tropical, super sunny, beaches everywhere. It's basically like the Hawaii of Japan.
Wait, historically, too. Yeah, exactly.
Historically, Japan. Historically, it's part of Japan, man. I You know, I know this guy is trying to rage bait, like rage bait people at the at first, and then they say it's Japan historically at the end of the video. That's what That's what he does.
That's what he does. This guy is not Middle Eastern, nor is this guy, or all of these people. They're actually from Japan. But, why? [music] This is the Ainu people. They were the indigenous people of Japan. Yeah, this guy is also a Japanese man. This guy is also Japanese, bro. Like And this guy is my grandfather. He's from south part of Japan. And also, people often say that native Japanese people have big beard.
We can. As you can see, this is me with a beard. I do shave my beard every day because it's culture, but if we want to, we can. They're situated [music] in Hokkaido, which is Japan's most northern island, as well as you can find them in the Sakhalin and Kuril Islands, as well.
These people were in Hokkaido and [music] in northern Japan before any modern Japanese culture even started, thousands of years before. And some genetic studies prove that they actually are linked to the Jomon. The Jomon Exactly.
Exactly, Jomons. Just like my ancestor is, right? So, I I actually did explain about this. We are descendant of these two types.
When two types uh get mixed up, right?
And becomes me. My father kind of brown, and my mother kind of >> [clears throat] >> pale, so I am like like that. I'm not as pale as my mother, but I don't I I do have beard, something like that. Jomon was one of two prehistoric [music] groups of peoples in Japan. They looked like this, and they were indigenous [music] to Japan. Whereas the Yayoi actually walked over from the land bridge that [music] is now the Korean Peninsula, and they have a lot more Asian features. When they say like, "Oh, these people came from like Korean Peninsula, like this Yayoi type."
First time they came These guys came to Japan was like 10,000 years ago, bro.
10,000 years ago is long time to become a native person, bro. Like what the heck? Bro, I'm going to say like if if like 10,000 is 10,000 years not enough for you, then like what about like what's going to happen to like American people, like most of the people on the planet? They're like all immigrants, by the way.
Yeah, yeah, we Africans, yeah.
We We We Africans We all came from Africa, so we Africans.
That's what these people say, man. now the Korean Peninsula, [music] and they have a lot more Asian features. They have absolutely no known relatives of their language, making their culture [music] and language completely unique to them. They also worship spirits, and they believe that every single thing had a spirit. They also Bro, every single spirit has a Every single thing has a spirit. This is really the core teaching or core core principle of Shintoism. Like Shinto is come from Jomon people, like a native Japanese, which I believe. worship bears, which they considered [music] the most sacred spirits. They basically catch a bear cub, raise it, and then send it back to the gods [music] uh in a ritualistic ceremony pictured just like this. Pretty crazy. That's a cute-looking bear, though. The place that they are from, Hokkaido, wasn't always called Hokkaido. [music] It was only changed like 100 years ago. So, before that, the Japanese used to call this island [music] Ezochi, which basically means the land of the barbarians. Now, if you recall my video on how the Portuguese landed in Tanegashima, and they called them Nanbanjin, [music] southern barbarians, this is the reason why. Hokkaido officially became a part of Japan [music] in 1869, and this is when the Japanese Meiji government decided to force assimilation on the Ainu. They banned their traditional hunting and fishing methods, >> [music] >> as well as the bear ceremonies, and also forced them to have Japanese names.
Unfortunately, there's only roughly 10 Bro, okay, okay, native, bro. Like do they look like me or not? Everybody is mixed now.
Okay?
I'm mixed. They're mixed.
Everybody's mixed. Every tribe Every tribe has been mixed, bro. We are friends.
Bro, we are one nation. This is what they do, guys. Like, oh, they say, "Oh, the people from south are not really Japanese. Oh, people from the north is not really Japanese." They try to like separate the Ainu part away from Japan. That's what they're trying to do, guys. Don't fall for that.
Jomon are like the native Japan, and my ancestor is Jomon.
Their ancestor is Jomon. People living in Ryukyu, like the Okinawans are part of descendant of Jomon, right? We all We all are.
And we do not want to be part of Russia or part of be part of China. It's very simple. It's all lies.
1,000 to 20,000 [music] Ainu people left, and only 10 native speakers, meaning that their language is basically almost extinct. Japan also didn't recognize them as an indigenous group until [music] 2008, meaning that they were Because indigenous Because I'm indigenous, too. Like everybody's indigenous.
Living here for a long time, bro.
completely left in the shadows. A fun fact is that apparently bear worship was pretty common [music] throughout the world back in the day. Germanic tribes did it, and the Nivkh tribes in Russia that are actually close to Hokkaido did it as well. So, yeah. Shout out to the bear. Beast Bro, look at that. He say Japan is low-key Israel. What?
>> Nobody talks about how Japan is kind of like East Asian Israel, like OG Israel, but like they did like their ethnic cleansing so long ago, like nobody would have known about it. Bro, like back in the day history of that Homo sapiens just kill each other. Like what? What are you trying to They war war. You know, in Japan only like white people kill white people to each other, right? And what about black people? Like everybody were killing each other back in the days, man. It's not only our problem.
>> or even given a Like Japanese people, what we consider as a Japanese person today, they are not from that island.
Just like common sense-wise, what color is a Pacific Islander?
They're like brown. Japanese people are not brown. They're pale. Bro, my my my father and my grandpa was from the south and they're brown as hell, by the way.
They're brown as hell.
But they come from the south. You go to the north, there's less light, it's much colder, much snow, and people become pale.
You think Japan is all the same color, bro? Depending where you are If you're closer to the north and near near to Russia, your skin turns into pale.
You go south, it's hot. Become makes your skin brown. Oh my god. What are you talking about, this guy? From what I understand, the two original ethnic groups native to that island were these two ethnic groups, the Ainu and the Ryukyuans. From what I understand No, Ainu and Ryukyu Ryukyu are descendant descendant of Jomon, which is my ancestor and everybody's ancestor.
Bro, you This guy take This guy's learning history from TikTok, bro.
The Ryukyuans lived like the southern islands and they're like now referred to as Okinawan. I don't know if they're cool with that. I don't think they are. And the Ainu, if they're from like the top half of Japan and they're like kind of recognized >> So, the people who in the middle is nothing to do with Japan?
What?
But not Like the modern Japanese person is like a combination of three different groups. One group that came from like China, I think they're called like the Jomon. Another group that's from like Korea. And then another group that's like also from China, but like from a different era. And that's like what they are. I mean, yeah, we all come from Africa, bro. Yes.
The Jomon people came to Japan from somewhere.
South or from Korean peninsula from from or north north side, Russian side, bro.
We all came from somewhere. But yeah, they still just like took that island, killed them, suppressed them for like hundreds of Okay, if we just conquered Jomon people, right? Like let's say if like they split up like Jomon people and Ainu people. If the people who has a pale skin color conquered every Jomon people, if that's your logic, then why do we believe Shintoism? Shintoism is literally the belief of the native people of Japan.
years and they like still don't even like recognize the atrocities against like the Ryukyuans and some against the like the Ainu. Like they get like disrespected like crazy over there. And when you start finally viewing Japan as kind of like East Asian Israel their behavior pre-World War II kind of starts making a lot of sense.
I remember I remember when I when I did uh create a media video against some black guy says that paler the skin bigger the liar they are. So, like bro, and they say, "Oh, actually Japanese people are brown." And these uh most of the Japanese people are pale.
Like bro, what's wrong with you? Like what's wrong What's wrong with the people who doesn't have a brown skin?
First of all, I'm not that white. And secondly, there's nothing wrong with being having a light skin. Like they want to just anonymize anonymize all the people who has lighter skin than they they have, right?
