their is no evidence beyond a few genetic markers the ainu were originally african.
Africa Didnt Colonize Anyone We Were Already There When There Was One Mass Of Land Called the "Panagea" Named "Alkebulan" All Of The European Type Conquests Came In The Age Of Bronze And Iron. The Said Original Man , Was And Is Found Everywhere In The Omniverse
yo i remember i was in elementary school and the teacher told me that my name sounds Japanese lol and i have a yoruba name
my yoruba name is on my Id lol i can sow it to them
african lie station why are you removing comments
a lie fears all criticism while the truth fears no discernment.
whats that make you pimp.
I am from edo state in Nigeria. Years ago when I started seeing names of places in Japan like osaka okada edo. I started to wonder how are they naming their places in Japan the same way we named our towns in edo state. They worship their gods exactly the way we worship our gods in Benin. Years later from studies in Chicago I found out that the people from edo state migrated from edo state and settled in what is called present day japan-osaka. You posted a video about also a tribe from Nigeria speak the Chinese languages. Those people are still in Nigeria today speaking their native Chinese dialects. Without knowing it’s called mandarin in far away countries called china. I have seen Chinese people in Chicago with straight afro hair like myself and same black men built. I am no longer surprised that the truth is coming out with the help of internet. Keep posting more videos thanks
Excellent contribution. Many thanks!
Yes, I too find that the Japanese have names similar to those of Nigerians
Awesome info & video...!!! 👍🏽
Faites des recherches sur patché un livre écrit par un camerounais qui a fait des recherches au Japon en Corée et en chine sur la présence africaine en Asie depuis le temps de l'Égypte pharaonique jusqu'au 8 e siecle
Astonishing!
OMG, I'm Nigerian and I was reading this book called 'No, No Boy', it's written by a Japanese author. When I was reading the book, I noticed A LOT of the names sounded like names from my tribe. The more I researched and spoke to HONEST Japanese, because there was one Japanese lady that was trying to make me look stupid like I didn't know what I was talking about. Anyway, the more I've spoken to Japanese people, the more I realized that there are PLENTY of similarities between the Japanese and Africa. I believe a tribe came to Japan from Africa during the last ice age. I'm really, really glad to see this video. THANK YOU!!!!
because african people were every where and when you keep marrying invading tribes women you become genetically whited out
BUT HE IS LYING! making up TALES=just pure FOLKLORIC for the IGNORANT!...haaahahahahah!! this is SOOO FAKE it cant even HIDE its FAKERY!...
JAPANESE are the descendants of JAPHETH-the JAVANESE hence brothers to other SONS OF NOAH-Gen 10
The BANTU are Gen 5:4 OTHER children of Adam and Eve AFTER SETH was born...so the BANTU are NOT JAPANESE and neither are they HAMETIC as JAPHETH, the 1st born
HAM the 2nd born and
SHEM 3rd born SONS OF NOAH!....NOT BANTU!...
...........the LANGUAGES of ALL the world were ORIGINALLY ONE LANGUAGE ....till....BABEL when the LANGUAGES were MIXED UP and only some words remained SIMILAR....THAT does NOT MEAN that the SONS OF NOAH are SONS OF THE BANTU nor are the BANTU the sons of NOAHS SONS!...
#STOP this FAKERY its AD NAUSEUM!...purely to PUSWH the HYBRIDITY INTERracial narrative for the GENETIC SURVIVAL of the SONS OF NOAH!...GIVE IT UP! its FAKE and WE KNOW IT!...
We are living a mystery and secret world.
If you look for pictures of early (black) Chinese or Japanese you’ll realize that they were black. And the early war were about extermination of Dark skin clans. Mulatto, Moreno, Moriscos are European, some African and American who have fallen from our 1st estate. I don’t know what China or Japanese word would be.
We are one.... Indeed we are. Africa was indeed the cradle of civilisation
Great work, the darker the flesh, the deeper the roots ..... the world needs that deep dive
It's amazing how we are learning how connected the human is, truly amazing ! "Mankind is One".
One and started in Africa. Only that some people are changing history by repainting the pictures to look white but Africa ruled the world I guess.
Everything began in Africa and spread around the world so every civilization still has traces of those African tribal roots.
The literal Human race 😂
As someone who is Japanese and African American this is astonishing to me. Thank you for sharing this. I hope we can unravel more historical mysteries👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Most welcome.
You're not African American unless you were born in Africa and now have American naturalized citizenship. Those continental misnomers are not only confusing but inaccurate identifiers. If you mean you are Black/Japanese, you should say Black and Japanese.
@@diwi5823 Black/white are outdated colonial oppression terminology. I’m not really sure why you’re telling anyone how they should identify?
@@diwi5823Black is also a misnomer. We accept it, but we-so-called African Americans-know that we are a hybrid people.
Is this post from my daughter? 😂
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS AUTHENTIC AFRICAN ART IS SO VALUBLE AMONG EUROPEANS, AND OTHERS. THE TRUE MEANING OF THE ART IS KEPT SECRET. ALSO, IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS ALMOST EVERY MAJOR MUSEUM IN EUROPE, AND THE U.S. HAS ANCIENT AFRICAN ART, AND ARTIFACTS. FURTHER EVIDENCE AS TO WHY EUROPEANS DO WANT TO RETURN THE ART TO IT'S RIGHTFUL PLACE ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.
IN THE LAST SENTENCE, THE WORD SHOULD BE "DON'T", INSTEAD OF "DO".😜
At some point people will remember that's not even art, that's technology. You can actually decode the code of reality through the adinkra code... this is not mere decoration nor a writing system only. It's the actual code of reality....
All the 6000 writing scripts from Katiopa (endonym for Africa) functions like that... knowledge is coming back collectively.
The artifacts are a shrine of defeat and to be superior against all they defeated in battle! Like skin that cover our bodies! After the defeat and conquer the destruction has run deep and banishment of the blacks around the world, that has lied, killed, destroyed our race, and also to keep us separated from the truth… is hard to digest, although we know the truth but the proof is there hate! To keep those artifacts prove the truth of Slavery,Colonization, Religion, and now Education and the wipe out of our History! I will never be ashamed to carry this amour as a black person! I love what those who have taken from our ancestors, we are waking up to see the unsee, the unknown,and I hope to see the world through our ancestors eyes! In real time… This my opinion!!!
Correction “ DO NOT “ is what I think you meant, no?
@@renaldo1 THE SITE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MAKE THE CORRECTION. IF YOU KEEP READING, YOU'LL FIND THAT I ALREADY MADE THE CORRECTION IN ANOTHER POST. THANKS....
This is a comfirmation that there's a reason behind Africa the cradle of humanity
Some skeptics say the walls didn't exist. Go to Benin, you will see parts of the remnants of the wall. Ive seen them during my school days in Benin city.
. Most was destroyed by the British during the Benin invasion.
Also, the ancient design of Benin city can still be seen in modern day city plan of Benin- the city centre revolves around the Oba's (king) palace, with a ring road in front, then streets veer off this. Its really interesting to see that our ancestors were better town planners than today's generation, where theres little planning and houses are built in a haphazard manner
There are times in the history of humanity where we lose our way. And then there are times when we find our way back home. So why did we lose it in the first place. Let me know when you find out.
“Most were destroyed by the British.” Apparently, that would have been quite a feat.
@@daleanderson1095 it took 1200 Royal Marines and a few RN warships , job done. we lost 8 men. A relative of mine was on one of the ships.
This is some wonderful research...the first time that I was made aware of the African and Asian connection was back in the 90's when I read the African presence in early Asia, by Ivan Van Sertima
These linguistic similarities make the tower of babel story seem like it is based on something historical.
Seems more like the Tower of Bable was a made-up story to explain why there are many different languages in the world.
It is
These Edo people are what is written in the Bible as Edom’ they ruled Benin republic(Judah in the bible) Obadiah’s story was about them! The are the rulers of Babylon and took the children of Isreal as slaves! The river Choba is where Ezekiel saw the endtime vision, his name is Ezike(Eze-Ike)they are close kins with the Egyptians(Jibiti) There chief priest is called ON in the book but called Ooni in Nigeria. The Nigerians are the original Egyptians and also Isrealites that’s why the Portuguese first attacked them and looted them before the transatlantic slave trade.
It is bro, it is
Purely historical
Same mess happened to me the first time I went to Hawaii. Their king had the same name as my grandpa back in the DRC. Kamehameha. And then the entire Hawaiian language has the same phonetics, and use of the letter "u" as in the DRC.
When I went to the library to research what was happening, I could not help but notice how the Aborigines looked just like the Congolese, including their queens & kings..
Excellent contribution. Thanks!
Kanaka Maoli like all Māori have an anatomical species trait called the Rocker Jaw as did their ancestors and the ancestors of the Ainu and Sub Saharan Mauri. Not mongoloid negroid nor caucazoid. Australian aboriginals are indigenous south East Asians also and are genetically related to Indigenous Hindu and peoples of the Amazon. This man in ancient times could be found on every continent because the Māori also went to Antarctica by means of sea voyages as great navigators of ancient. It is them with ancient weaving draped in their feathers on all the megaliths and monuments by legend.
With their well known ancient Māori handbags also. th-cam.com/video/IK8OOpeYHC4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3g8xHM-Gk8JRBX8F
Well done great video and channel; finally a well educated take on this matter, it’s rare to find unbiased real history.
Many thanks, and welcome.😊
I remember as a kid seeing those benin statutes and thinking that they were Samurai warriors .... It is such a sub-conscious observation
As Japanese I always think African language and Japanese language is so similar
So I like them 😊
Most welcome! Thanks.
Japanese names Sound like swahili
@@cytkl I think Kikongo is more similar I guess
Same
What is 'African' language?
I am Nigerian.
As a child with no knowledge of history, but by simply being a very inquisitive child who happened to have been exposed to Japanese culture very early, due to my dad's travels to Japan, I was astonished by how a lot of Japanese names sounded strangely like, or very similar to the everyday names I heard all around me in Nigeria!!!
Now as an adult, I am now beginning to understand the connection....
Thanks for this well researched video!
I always say that too, mostly every African name is similar to Japanese.
I have a Nigerian name and I took Japanese in high school, my instructor was stunned that my name was so “Japanese-sounding”. She was the only teacher I had that got my name right on the first try!
Most welcome 🙏
Lost split Israel tribes.. some of the Nigerian names and African names are also Hebrew names.
@@revellhorton9002 You get right, brother!
This makes a lot of sense. I am from Jamaica. 51% Nigerian, but my DNA also picked up Paleo Siberian - which would've been the same people who became the Jomon/Ainu people of Japan. I also have Austronesian, Native American and South East Asian. A part from the Native American that I could easily trace back, because my grandmother is known to be of Taino descent, the rest of non-African ethnicities weren't adding up to me. Now this puts everything into perspective, and my DNA results can confirm this study as well. I am seeing a connection.
I also study Japanese language and history and have observed and questioned all these things mentioned in the video, and I thought I was tripping when I speculated.
I think the Japanese people need to be educated about this because the most they tell them about their far history is that they don't know where the Jomon people came from, but they were possibly Jewish or of some Eurasian decent.
These findings would also point to Native Americans and Siberians who crossed over to the Americas actually belonging to this same group that came from Nigeria. This is why Native Americans are inherently black and also share similar physical traits as Japanese people.
Excellent contribution. Many thanks for this. 😊
Well this connection between Benin names and Japanese names has always been very striking to me. I’m from Senegal and very fond of ancient history and the relationship between Africa and other cultures. Some Japanese names are definitely from Africa. Every time I meet someone from Japan, I can’t help myself trying to show them that their names are very much alike with names from the Benin culture!
But , they mostly politely laugh and think in the back of their mind that I must be crazy!
Africans, wake up! This our world for the world to know!
They've been taught that Africa is a dark world a bad world to be associated with. Don't blame them continue with your work
Not only Benin from my observation of the list of names a lot of Igbo, Yoruba, and a little of Hausa as well.
Years ago, when I started working with Nigerians for the first time in my life and heard them talking, I kept telling them that they sounded like Japanese.
Good observation.
Fascinating! I’m From the captivity of Amerikkka. Some 89% of my DNA traces back to Nigeria. I’ve always been drawn to the art of Benin. Great video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, and you’re very welcome to the Station. 🙏
My son's name is Eyasu. His dad is Ethiopian. Language is amazing!
Edo people of Nigeria also bear the name
💯 Yes I always suspected that there was some kind of connection between Japanese language and some of the African languages. The sounds were just too similar. And I notice in the Japanese language they use all the vowels: a, o, i, e, u
It’s a very popular name in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It means Yeshua. There were famous emperors with that name such as Iyasu I of Ethiopia (also known as the Great) (1682 - 1706) Iyasu II of Ethiopia (1730 - 1755)
@@yoahanna220 I'm Zimbabwean and many of their names and their intonation is just like the Shona language from Zimbabwe. I was very intrigued to discover they also have a connection to West Africa. He mentions that people from the Munhumutapa ( incorrectly spelled by the Portuguese as Monomotapa which is the prevailing spelling) kingdom in Southern Africa went to Japan and that makes so much sense because Zimbabwe is part of modern day Munhumutapa.
Check out the East Indians who were early Africans as well!
What a fantastic video. Truly shedding light on our connected history. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I am a luo from Kenya. We had japanese colleagues who spoke similar words like luos. For example the word 'Omera' had the same meaning as that of Luo.
Intriguing! Thanks.
I’m a British born Ghanaian and I’ve always thought there was a connection between Far Eastern Asia and west Africa there are some similarities that just can’t be ignored.
Thanks for this video
Most welcome!
Shalom, Today is my Birthday, Thanks to the Most High I am 76 years young today this video is a gift to me Thank You. I have a slight correction, these warrior / Gods who traveled from Africia landed in Korea first they were so impressed by the strong work ethic of the Korean woman that they married them to start a new race of people. They moved to what is now called Japan and started the Japanese race. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Many thanks for your valuable contribution. Happy birthday! Really glad you enjoyed it.😊
Happy Earthday and many blessings to you. I hope you have a wonderful day full of love, joy and family 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🎁🥳🥳🥳🥳🍾
Wherever there is a neanderthal existence, there was a African or Black Civilization there first which was eventually conquered in whole by neanderthal swarming invasions coming continuously. This is Global wide pure world timeline history.

Im Zambian and once I worked with a Zambian with the name "Tanaka"
Awesome thanks. My friend.
Thank you too! Welcome.
🤎🤎🤎 Thank you for researching and posting this history of us in East Asia!!
I had ALWAYS thought that there was a link between Nigeria and Japan. Thank you for this research confirming my suspicions. The link is so strong. Wow!! We have been truely miseducated by design. I celebrate you sir. 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾🤣🤣🙏🏾🙏🏾🕺🏾😇🥰😘
You are very welcome. 😊
I schooled in Benin City, Edo state, Nigeria and that's how we greet elders: 'Domor sir'' ...more research needs to be done on this connection between Nigeria/Africa and Japan, China and other Asian countries
I’ve always noticed the similarities between Edo culture and that of Japan got me very curious and i somehow suspected this was the case, now this sheds more light on it.
Thank you so much for this incredible, insightful video! I'm of Haitian descent, and my DNA is primarily made up of West African (& Central if it includes the former kingdom of Kongo) ethnicities. It's amazing how much of our ancestral cultures we've been able to maintain through song and dance; thus, I like to research where we've obtained (or retained) certain aspects of our culture-which is regionally diverse within itself. Having watched a good amount of Japanese and Korean content, growing up, I've noticed many similarities in physical features, and some japanese words that I could attribute to Haiti. As I learn more about West African peoples and their histories, the similarities to East Asians that I've picked up on make total sense! You have no idea how much joy it brings me to see how we're all so connected! Thank you so much for the time and effort you've put into this video. I only wish more people saw the importance of learning about the history of the continent that birthed not just our kind, but the first homos as well.
You're most welcome, and thanks for your great contribution.
Very good video. Here is more proof to what you are saying.
Haplogroup DE is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is defined by the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutations, or UEPs, M1(YAP), M145(P205), M203, P144, P153, P165, P167, P183.[7] DE is unique because it is distributed in several geographically distinct clusters. An immediate subclade, haplogroup D (also known as D-CTS3946), is mainly found in East Asia, parts of Central Asia, and the Andaman Islands, but also sporadically in West Africa and West Asia. The other immediate subclade, haplogroup E, is common in Africa, and to a lesser extent the Middle East and southern Europe.
Thank you for you research and keep up the good work. I always knew this stuff and God is just revealing everything now to manking. All life started from the African continent.
Many thanks for your valuable contribution, and thanks for your kind words. 😊
🌿💯🌿🥰🌿❤️🖤💚🌿🥇🌿🌎🌿🥰🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
This is just to show that both D and E are found in Africa as well as Asia.
The Edo people also have haplogroup DE
So did all culture. (except maybe the gun culture)
THEY'RE ARE AFRO JAPANESE PPL STILL IN JAPAN & THEY LIVE IN THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS & RUAL AREAS IN JAPAN THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL & NOT MIXED RACE AT ALL❗️
Thanks for that! 😊
As a former teacher, I just love learning
Africa is the origin of mankind 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I live in Germany but I'm from Kenya. I studied Linguistics at university years ago. During my student days I also took Japanese language lessons for 3 years. From the beginning I was struck by similarities between Japanese and two Kenyan languages, Swahili and especially Kikuyu. Both are Bantu languages. Bantu is one of the African language groups.
I haven't personally noted any similarities between Japanese and Luhya, the Kenyan language mentioned in the video, but Luhya is also a Bantu language. Then again, I don't speak any Luhya.
The similarities with the Kikuyu language of Kenya may or may not be coincidences, but the link to Benin and Nigeria are unmistakeable. Like the video points out, it's no mere coincidence.
Japanese people living in Kenya, as we observed in those days, spoke Swahili just like Kenyans so much so that, if you had closed your eyes, you'd have thought a Kenyan was speaking. There were Europeans and Americans in Kenya who had learnt Swahili very well, but they always spoke it with a heavy European or American accent.
When the Japanese heard us Kenyans speaking their language, lo and behold, they said that unlike Americans living in Japan we spoke Japanese just like the Japanese - without an accent!
Because of my backgound in Linguistics, I can confirm that African language and Asian languages are very similar both phonetically (in terms of pronunciation) and syntactically (in terms of grammar). For example, both Japanese and Luo (my mother tongue) are what are known as pitch accents, whereas English and German, the two European languages I speak, are stress accents.
Amazing contribution. Many thanks. 😊
I remember watching a Nigerian movie maybe last year and I remember, one of the characters really well...he wasn't a major character, he was just someone they stopped and was talking, but his man sounded different than the other Nigerians....he sounded like he was from Asia, even the words sounded Asian...I asked my mom, do you here this, do you hear him and how he sounds...when she truly listened, she agreed...I'm glad, I'm not crazy...they also wear those umbrella hats that I see the Chinese wear too...also, I think some Ghanaians have "Asian" last names...it's so interesting!!
I’m a luhya from Kenya living in Florida, I get asked about my last name whether it’s Japanese by Japanese people and also shikuku is a luhya name and I’ve met a couple Japanese people with the same name

Blacks will end up being majority eventually and re write history again ,,koz also a lot of edo Igbo and Yoruba names are similar to Nilotic names in Kenya especially even Ghana apala and agpala ,amadi and amadi,names like oyoo etc some point nations broke but kingdoms ruled a vast area that had multi lingo mix of people under one burner of rule ,,the Wolof and the nilotes are also similar looking tall dark and same facial features
I wish colonization never happened and that we all could enjoy the world without belittling the blackness with disbelief and disrespect! We always have to prove who we are and be wiped out ! Thanks for the history lesson it was a beautiful journey!

Africans were developed people for that time. Not considered poor then, other regions were not as organised.
So what went wrong then

@@RotimiTimothyOnayemi-Novelsthey made the Benin’s minority, with the help of wazobia
@@thebill8891you burnt down our civilizations, and claimed they never existed to begin with. You also, conveniently enough right after claimed that we were a nomadic savage people with no language or history for the purpose of our subjugation. You split our empires up and divided them into your own borders, right after taking our art and resources for yourselves. Do you want me to go further, because it's not just the damn blacks you did this to. The land you likely stand on(America) was bought from the destroyed culture of millions of their inhabitants. If you want any debunks to the common racist rhetorics I see online, here they are:
Sub Saharan African empires pre colonization-Kush, Benin, Mali, Oyo, Axum etc.
Writing pre-colonization-the Ajami
Famous black rulers and warriors pre colonization- King Sundata, Queen Amina of Zaria, Mansa Musa, Amenhotep III, Taharqa and Oba Ewuare to name a few.
Yoruba parables(showing a wide philosophical range of thought)-steemit.com/nigeria/@leopantro/50-yoruba-proverbs-and-idioms
Now please, do black/all colonized people a favor and just shut the fuck up with this harmful rhetoric.

I have always asked myself if there was any correlation b/n the Japanese Edo and Nigeria's. now it's clear.👍
I´m Edo origin in Nigeria grew up in a rural area of Benin city so i know much about Edo culture and at my 24 yrs i travel to Japan Tokyo
there i saw the shadow of Edo culture and behavour in Japan (1991/ 94) Ototó ( junion ) in Japan but mean lower part in Edo Nigeria.
"Ame ga furu" in japan.. " Ame ró " in Edo... Means it´s raining. etc.. etc.

I'm from Benin City, Edo state, Nigeria. In recent times, I've been having this feeling to visit Japan, I guess my ancestors were the ones calling out to me, lol. Apart from it being an introvert's haven, though. Also, when i watch Chinese movies or series, I'm able to compare it with the Yoruba language spoken in some parts of Nigeria. Some words are slightly similar in meaning and sometimes pronunciation.
Many thanks for such educative information and for going the extra mile to connect the dots.
Most welcome 🙏
All of them are our sons they should respect us more
Whether the accept it or not they are indeed our sons. So if today they discriminate or are racists against we Africans, then they're doing it against their own Ancestors, Period
@@paulminamore8564 No, they're not "our sons". We're all sons of Adam and Eve. No one is superior to anyone else.
I am an African myself. But, let's say that it doesn't work that way. Respect is deserved ! And also, let's keep in mind that our Representation in the eyes of Other Peoples in the world has been fabricated, twisted, falsified by the West following Slavery and Colonization of our Ancestors. That's to say we cannot hold grudge against our Sons and Daughters from Asia. Instead of asking for Respect, we must educate ourselves by making a bit of research so we can have something to share with our kids, family, friends and neighbours in order to raise their Level of Consciousness and Confidence. Because History is a Powerful tool to change mind and raise the level of Conscience. We definitely have work to do instead of requesting Respect. Even if Other Peoples discover the True History of Black People, that won't change much in the way we are viewed by Others. That Respect we crave and cry out for, we shall deserve it through the image of ourselves we project to the Outside World. In other words, one way or another, we will have to put our act together. We cannot go on like that and expect anything is going to change for Us. History and Society just doesn't work like that.
I'm African from Zambia and it's true we often marvel when we here Japanese names because they sound so much like African names! This really needs to be studied more!
I'm a black women born raised in America and I don't know were I came from or who my ancestors are because I was raised by parents who were raised by parents, who were raised by parents, whose parents were raised by slave owners, my dad would never talk to me about his childhood, and my grandmother would tell me don't tell anyone that your cheerokee, because their trying to kill all the what they named Indians. It's really sad to me
@@uniekjohnson1214 Its very sad what was done to the Natives and Africans in America. A real stain on humanities history. I hate it when people play down the suffering of the people who went through those injustices. Which let's be real is still going on today. Don't despair dear sister you are a daughter of Africa, tho you may not know all the details of your ancestry, continue to hold your head up high. One day all will be revealed :)
@@uniekjohnson1214 I can understand why the Caucasian’s/white’s deny African historical mixing…But why would the Japanese, as they don’t have any history of black slavery?
Why wouldn’t they acknowledge any black heritage?
Are Japanese racist or can they prove that there was no direct historical / ancient mixing of African and Japanese blood… Only DNA and Haploid grouping can prove or disprove any African genetic connection to Japanese Asian’s. 🤔
Years ago as I watched a game of Nigerian footballers and Japanese footballers, maybe a world cup, I noticed that many of the players had similar names. I was amazed by this.
Nice observation. 😊
This is fascinating. There are also Japanese place names and indeed personal names which sound like those found in the Great Lakes region of East Africa. Furthermore, I noticed, from my Japanese friend (RIP), similarities in social etiquette and mannerisms. He noticed that in me, and I noticed the same in him.
This is awesome. After visiting / seeing Asia for myself I could not get enough books by black historians and anthropologist that told of our presence in Asia and the Pacific. Plus, I want to thank you for helping me remember Godfrey Higgins and his works. AHS GREAT WORK!!!
Many thanks indeed. Welcome. 🙏
@@african-history-fountain Keep it coming. Most people do not know these things. The information you are giving is priceless.
Runuko Rashidi book is good too about African presence in Asia
Amazing video and great research! When I was studying the Azande people of the DRC I came across a lot of place names and names of rulers from Africa with place names etc. from Indonesia and all over that region. Why aren't they teaching us real history in school in the UK?
Summary of this video: The video explores a hypothetical scenario based on historical facts, where a young Nigerian named Osazuwa travels to Tokyo, Japan for university. When he arrives, he surprises his Japanese friends by revealing his Edo ethnic group from Nigeria, which leads to astonishing connections between the Edo people of Benin Empire and ancient Japan.
The Benin people were a powerful kingdom in Nigeria, known for their massive walls and sophisticated culture. The video suggests that there are linguistic, cultural, and even genetic connections between the Edo people and ancient Japan. It delves into the striking similarities in names, cultural practices, and even DNA evidence linking Nigeria and Japan.
The video also explores the possibility of Edo people from Benin settling in Japan during the Edo period, leading to a blending of cultures and genetic influence. It touches upon the linguistic connections between African and Asian languages, as well as the potential influence of Edo people in various regions of Asia.
Overall, the video presents compelling evidence and connections that suggest a deep and significant historical relationship between the Edo people of Benin Empire in Nigeria and ancient Japan during the Edo period.
Excellent summarisation, and we greatly value your contribution. Many thanks!
Southern Africa has a lot of words that are used in Japan which was a big surprise to Spiritual leaders who went there to visit..
what an amazing video, blew my mind as i had no idea of the many connections there and ive been to Japan 3xs and trace my roots back to Benin also. Fabulously put together, thank you for the work you produced here and citing your sources. ❤🎉
Many thanks, and welcome. 🙏
Iyasu is also an Ethiopian name. Former ruler before Haile Selassie was Lij Iyasu
Google translate that name to Joshua 🤔
What an excellent video. I have always known the peoples of the east and far far east have black ancestry. It's incredible too how similar the languages like Korean, Chinese, pali, sanskrit, tamil and many others are.
The descendents of cush migrated and went on to start many dynasties.
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate your research. 👍😊
We appreciate your knowledge and input as well. Thanks! 😊
Crush (Ethiopia), interesting gotta investigate that.
🤔
Great research
Haruna is a Hausa name and Kano is the biggest city of the Hausa land in Nigeria
Absolutely. Many thanks. 👍
Quite fascinating
there has to be some sort of connection a long way back! being Edo myself, everything about the Japanese culture and religion feels so un alien to me 😅
Agree. I’m from Japan and I’ve been studying Ifa religion (influenced by my Edo friend - we’ve talked about “edo” too) and everything seems so un foreign to me too 😅 some words I learned thru Ifa sounds so similar to Japanese as well! By the way my name is Chiaki which sounds like something from Nigeria too 😳
If you read up on Shintoism on Wikipedia, you’ll be amazed at the similarities with Benin/Yoruba traditional religion. Virtually identical. But it’s state-backed, so more structured. 😊

Im Ghanaian of Nigerian descent. Its all true. 80% of the japanese child names you listed are still used in Nigeria. I fell off my chair when i saw your list. I thought you were refering to Nigeriam children names lol
@@african-history-fountainHe is correct, I have to go back to the video to make sure you said "Japanese names". 😂
@@african-history-fountain, I am Edo tribe in Nigeria. The name of my village is Oheze Naka. The village is in present day Orhionmwon Local Areas of Edo state Nigeria.
I’m not surprised because from our oral history Ekiti ondo and many was under the so called empire and I’m sure most of the citizens was in the army anambra, Enugu, rivers and so on, it possible and when u check when Edo period rules Tokyo, Edo period as already begun for in Nigeria and compare the name IYASE of Edo in Nigeria and IYASU of Tokyo I’m not surprised
It's truly one world. There's a lot of similar ties between Yoruba culture of Nigeria and the Korean culture. This is not to say I want to force an association but just to shed lights on history.
Edo people share a lot with the Edo Japan dynasty
I've always felt a very deep respect for the Japanese people, deep down in my heart I believe that most nations of the world has rootical connections and the Japanese people is sold proof, never underestimate your inner feelings, they're always trying to inform us of something that we may not know, this information is very precious, thank you so very much for bringing this documentary to the world, God truly is great, thanks and may God bless you for the time and effort you put into this, in the eyes of God we are all connected.
Many thanks for your kind words, and welcome 🙏
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! I am so so happy you are bringing this to light! Although, I had the knowledge, images and the confirmation by my Japanese aunt years ago, it is something I did not want to present because of quantum circumstances that would convolute the information. So Spirit sent another. You are being supported by our ancestors. Keep it up! So I applaud you for doing so. If you have yet to do a presentation on Korea, I think it would be worthwhile as according to my aunt, this country holds a key in this mysterious Africa/Asia puzzle. Soon the world will know who's who. Excellent!!!
Someone has attempted to make the connection. His book is Paekche's Principle: The great secret of Asia by Bayemy Biyick.
Many thanks indeed. 😊
Thanks for your valuable exposition of Africa as the motherland of HUMAN RACE, no matter the colour of skin and creed of mind. I am Nigerian of IJAW nationality, the earlier nations of the WORLD AGREE to common ANCESTRY, the sooner we ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE UNIVERSAL PEACE, HAPPINESS, JUSTICE in the UNITY of DIVERSITY. Pray the CREATOR of the Universe bless your efforts. Amen🙏🏼
Many thanks!
Ameeeen u are very sensible if we all did just that the world will be a better nd peaceful.place for All Human Beings. WE ALL NEED TO DROP THIS DESEASE CALLED "JEALOUSY ND GREED".
It is awesome to get confirmation! I started on my own journey many years ago because Asians and Africans looked so similar to me! Some names were also similar so to my Black Western mind, I knew there had to be a connection.
言葉の音は似るのは偶然にすぎない。また生活習慣も似てはいない。
@@nayuta0614 You are in denial! That is waaay more than simply coincidence. You don't want to be associated with Black folks, but the day will come when you will wish you were Black!
A very good presentation. Very informative, enjoyable and well referenced .
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Wow great lesson this is all inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it
As an African, and an indigenous ,I knew this Japan has the same te.ta to, tic tax toe ,sounds not a lot of long rrr sounds.( shot sounds) ..I speak KLAO.. JAPANESE SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THOSE WEST AFRICAN LANGUAGES..
😲😮😯 We Asian people know soooo little or NOTHING about our ancestors ...... Many thanks for the brilliant information🙏🙏🙏
Most welcome, and thanks. 🙏
As an Nigerian Edo here in canada , I was part of a research by a white Canadian on this
topic years ago. There are far too many similar language and cultural practices between both. Really glad it’s coming out more and more.
Amazing! Could you share some of your findings with us, if possible?
@@african-history-fountain he didn’t share with me as I was merely a subject interviewed in what was going to be a long research process/doctorate. Me too I forgot to follow up. It’s been 13 years now. I’m sure searches in academic journals will lead to more.
@@commscompany1502 No worries. We’ll look for it. Thanks 🙏
History=His Story, Mystery= My Story
this is the most informative information i have found on japan. thank you!
As a Nigerian living in Japan this content is really relatable! We have lots of name in common with Japanese! Ehime, Chika, Edo, and many more!
Hi. I want to move to Japan. Any Tips? I'll truly appreciate.
The whole world is Africa,from ancient time,to this modern time ,we have build this world,through all its minerals,gold,dimonds,rubies and all of its precious materials and its great builders and tradesmen,wooh,the world has robbed the African continent and its people from ancient of times,that's why they hate us as a people,beautiful vedio and hiztory,keep the great works of enlighting and remindening the world,Rastafari,bless❤❤💛💛💚💚🙏
Thank you for the education!
Our pleasure!
The Portuguese were the first to arrive in Ghana and also in Japan, so one might expect that they transferred some of the same names and words to both. In Ghana and Japan the work "Shitor" or something like it, applies to pepper.
Well this fortifies my theory of why the US dropped those bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, to destroy the evidence of the ancient culture. Thank you for your research.
Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya all for (partly) the same reason.
wow interesting thought - this is seen all around the world and yet denied
I think this was the whole point of colonizing the world.
Hmm!!
True that...
Now, this makes sense. I always thought that the Japanese people's names sounded so African!
I watched in stunning Awe. Could not halt. I will come back again to watch in slow motion and detail. Thank you so much. I am so proud of this work Will follow your other works and support your team. Go bless you. I will share this extensively. Dr Patrick Ijewere in Lagos, March 22nd 2024
Many thanks, and welcome. 🙏
Wow ! Wow ! What a treat for me today. I wish I knew the name of that gentleman behind that Amazing Presentation. Anyway, I definitely want to thank you for that candy, that Delicious Food for the brain. I already liked and quickly subscribed to the channel. How could it be otherwise ! What I love the most in your presentation is the references. I am a Passionate Reader. That's why I feel obliged to write. Because as I read I realize that Others' analysis are faulty. So I think I have fresh new ideas to bring into the debate. That being said, I see you present some articles to be ordered below the video. I will certainly purchase an object or two. But, I would be so happy to see a few books in there about Asia's History and the link to Africa.
I realize that you or your staff read most of the comments. I want to take that opportunity to ask if you would be so king enough to suggest to me a minimum of ten (10) books on Japan History, Past and Present that would present me with a good understand of Japan Society. One particular subject I would love to discover about Japan is How the Youth is Educated in school in order to become a Japanese who stick to their ancestral values. I would like to request the same favour for China and South Korea if you can help me there as well. Your reply will get directly to me. I am looking forward to enjoy other videos of that kind.
Kind regards.
His Majesty Jesus Christ has sent me on a mission with a message to tell the masses! Fear not, my brothers, your hunger shall be no more. He who dispenses the bread of life shall be your sustenance!
This is eye opening and outright amazing. Thanks ❤
Welcome 🙏
The Japanese were also related to the California Yahi. A member of the California Yahi sailed to Japan where he could speak with them in his California native language.
I am a Ghanaian living in Canada. This THING struck me years ago, and this document confirms my suspicion
I heard of Mikazu : my name is Azu. I heard of Kabuki Sushi. Kabuki is a girl's name among the Krobos. I heard of Komei Sushi: komɛi is a Ga word. I met a Japanese student with last name, Amemiiya: in Ga, it means, " they are going".I met a Japanese cardiologist' wife's' name, "Mieko": in Ga, jt sounds like, " mi eko" as in ha mi eko( give me some). Again , a Japanese friend of my wife called, Akemi. Ake mi in Ga means " gifted me" AFTER ALL THESE, I BEGAN TO WONDER.
Thanks for sharing. Excellent. 😊
This was excellent research and documentary.
Most welcome. Thanks.
Kingdom of Monomotapa is in Zimbabwe
Thanks very much for this brillant information
Most welcome 🙏
Great work and information to share! ❤ Does this pertain to the Esan people of Benin City-Edo Nigeria? I have done my DNA ancestry ("Living DNA") and my ancestors are Esan Nigerians. And what's so ironic is that I do have a Japanese bloodline too ("23andme")! I love this! Do you know that I showed my friend who is Edo this video and he never knew! He was so fascinated by this information. I kind of always suspected this because whenever I came across some Chinese or Japanese names with Chi, it looked so close to Igbo names!
The Esan people are totally descended from Edo ancestors even by their own traditions, so are certainly part of this. Great contribution. Thanks.😊
The Esan are Edo People, just a dialect within the large Edo group.
I’m from Japan and my name is Chiaki. So when I meet a Nigerian girl long ago she was like 😮 that’s Nigerian name! I feel so close to Nigeria, one of my best friend from Edo state (Benin City) and we’ve talked about “Edo” and other similar words too. Our ways of thinking and customs are so similar, reverence to ancestors, respect for elders, native religious belief systems (animism) and daily greetings compared to more dominating western civilization. I now study Ifa and finding very ancient uncial connections must have existed in Africa and east Asia. Also to add, the original “native” Jomon people’s DNA study, their haplogroup D only other places found in Andaman Islands and Tibet. They are ancient black races of Asia.

Fascinating.
Id love to see a conversation between between you and them.
Bless you

This is some mind blowing history. Thank you for your work of research and sharing.
