I found some material online linking the Ainu (Anu) of Japan to Black Africa. Mentioned awas the claim that the original Zen Buddhists were portrayed as black. What do you think?

LEGEND: There are some traditions or even words that are highly confined in space and time. The word “Anu” is one such term which flashed through the neolithic sky of time leaving a comet trail in its wake from Africa to Japan? New York and New England were given those names by European settlers from York and England. By the same token, there are at least five African names to be found in the homeland of the Ainu: 1) Shari, 2) Saru, 3) Azawa, 4) EDO, the old capitol of Japan and now called Kyoto.

Edo is an African tribe with the same kind of masks used in Japanese Kuboki theatre, and 5) Anu. The question here is, “Are the Ainu of Japan descendents of the Anu of Africa?” For that to be so, there must be an Anu presence halfway between Africa and Japan and there was. Britannica encyclopdia writes: “The Kekayas, Madras, and Usinaras, who had settled in the region between Gandhara and the Beas River, were described as descendants of the Anu tribe.”

Yet, there should be an Anu half the distance between India and Africa and there was. The high god in the Mesopotamian pantheon was Anu. The Ainu of Japan would necessarily midway arise from the Anu of Central Asia above-mentioned. And it was from nearby Korea near India that a people came to Japan near 400 BC calling themselves the Ainu and they replaced the Jomon.

In each instance, the name bears similar meaning of "true men," “the real people” “eternal” or "eternal.”

Can the Ainu of Japan, whose name has the meaning as "the real people" (as with the Khoi Khoi – so in the same geographical region in Africa and perhaps intermingling), trace their origins to the Anu of Africa? Are they one people?

Similarities in language

What do you think?

NO No NO!!!!!! What is all this selvhating bro? before it was jew, egypt, arab and now it is japanese?? Tomorrow chinese?

and can we agree to STOP using propaganda words like TRIBE? use ethnicity if you can't think of anything else. MOST AFRICANS were NOT tribes even back then. look up the meaning of tribe, i know that's what they teach us in school but that came down from the missionaries. i tire.

*sniffs* I smell bulls**t.

A lot of Japanese can look African or European, it doesn't mean they migrated over the Pacific.

ezeagu:

I hear you, but some Africans did actually migrate over the pacific.

I noticed something and posted it here for debate without proffering any theory or analysis. To all those dismissing the observations,

what are your reasons?
where is your analysis?
are you trying to tell the world that many Nigerians engage in mob justice condemnation without giving any benefit of doubt?
Why not consider the Jomon, Yayoi and Kofun periods in Japan?

The Ainu are considered to have descended from the Jomon and not the present Chinese.

It is clear in the literature that Japanese archaeologists assume that the Jomon culture was co-extensive with the present national boundaries of Japan, exclusive of southern Okinawa, that everything within Japan during these ten millenniums was Jomon but nothing in Korea or Russian Primorye belonged to this culture.
