The Ainu Tribe (アイヌ民族 Ainu Minzoku) is a tribe in the Shaman King series.
About[]
The Ainu is an ancient tribe located in Hokkaido, Japan.[1] Legend says that their ancestors were born from the union of a wolf and a goddess[2] and they themselves believe that they are descendants of the gods.[3]
The Usui surname was originally pronounced "uhui" (ウフュイ ufyui) and meant "fire" in the Ainu language, but the Japanese government changed the pronunciation and assigned it the kanji for "ice" (氷).[2]
