It is believed that the Ainu and their ancestors, the Jomon were from South East Asia, possibly Micronesian. They settled in the Ryukyu islands (Okinawa), the main Japanese island, and the northern areas, Hokkaido, Sakhalin and Kuriles.

Sometime in history there was an invasion either through Korean peninsula, or from the Amur, across to Sakhalin then down to the main Japanese islands. The identity of this invaders is not clear, but most likely either a Tungus race or Korean (or both) and then mixed with most of those early settlers.

There was some DNA testing done and it seemed that those inhabitting Honshu had the least percentage of jomon blood, while the Okinawans had a greater number and the Ainu having the most.

If you ever see an Okinawan (plenty in Hawaii), they look significantly different than the Japanese. the Okinawans tend to have a squarer jaw line, stockier build, shorter height, and alot of body hair. Many have tan complexions with some passing as Filipinos (some not all). the Ainu is also known to be short, stocky and especially hairy. Chinese sources often mention their body hair.
