Everyone. I KNOW THE STATUE IS A CHINESE GUY While I greatly appreciate the correction it was an honest mistake. I searched for an image of a Japanese statue and that's what I got. My bad. I've been corrected like 100 times. Thanks! Also for those of you who assume I'm a kang who is trying to steal culture, try watching 11 seconds of the video before judging :D
@@taharka3897 um no..they indeed were not...I dont care if they were of a darker tone..darker skin does not equal black..black people dont have a monopoly of lips, darker skin, flat noses..lets not do this..we hate when white folk steal egypt, lets not steal other cultures...we need to stop trying to claim everything and stop acting like no one had culture outside of black people until 500 years ago..its sad and pathetic
Ummm there is a clear line along the coast of black ppl Yemen Oman India adaman islands negritos New guinea Solomon Island then the aborigines and the ancient Hawaiian Fiji Samoa.... oldest bone found in America 20,000 bce aboriginal South America... so we were everywhere. the Xi ppl or bushman of Africa are probably the progenitor of the Chinese type... them mixed with white I can see being Chinese over time...
dude, all languages sound similar when it comes to alot of things. greetings for example, Hello, Hao, Ni (Hao), oh Hiyo, all from lands that didn't even know about each other a long time, yet share many similarities.
By the way, NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR DOING RESEARCH and speaking truth, no one is perfect. They keep this information out of western schools so don't apologize! No more disclaimers non of the other "history" youtubers have disclaimers!
Probably every schools in the world is same. They want to teach you your country's history mainly. None of them has enough time as long as can teach you every single country's history on this planet.
I was thinking the samething..dont apologize for your work..they won't like it either way cause it shows there maybe contact and that's what will piss them off cause it goes against their narrative..
Exactly. He keeps trying to please the deriders of African history. He owes them nothing, and he should realise that. They don't apologise when they invent and rewrite histories, do they?
From Nothing You're missing out bro. Try Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Those are great anime and are heavily influence by Black American culture like Jazz(Cowboy Bebop) and Hip Hop (Samurai Champloo). I guarantee that you will love those series.
I never knew this!! I am japanese and have always felt close to my black brothers. This video made me feel even closer. I have Ainu indigenous blood and I notice my people are a bit darker than typical japanese. It is also possible when the polar ice cap was bigger, It allowed travelers to travel north on foot instead of taking a boat. I believe that is how the first settlers were able to reach such a isolate island as japan. There are actually 2 separate gene codes found in japan.. one coming from Asia and the other is unknown (Ainu) All in all from what I know... white, brown, yellow ect... we all came from mother Africa, it’s embedded in every human dna. Cool video 👍
Well it turns out that the closest genetic relatives of the Ainu people... are black! The Ainu people of Japan most commonly share haplogroup D, which is only found in one other group of people, the dark skinned inhabitants of The Andaman Islands near India. The Andamanese Islander people are one of the most isolated groups on the planet, so its crazy to think that any person with indigenous Japanese Ainu DNA would share the same haplogroup that they do. They are also descendants of one of the first groups of people to leave Africa.
I'm Edo from Nigeria as a youngster I was surprised to find that Tokyo had also been named Edo and Shogun sounds like it was derived from Ogun, our war god similar words in Edo are akogun and balogun which means war chief just like shogun and we call the moon uki Japanese say tsuki and both uki and tsuki also mean beauty in both languages. Super weird.
Pathrusim-Akuei-ⲃⲏⲕ son of Ham Nobody said they are related just pointing out linguistic coincidences. You don't think it's curious that 2 empires halfway across the world from each other both named their capital cities Edo? BTW the iron axe is actually for Sango the god of thunder, Ogun carries a sword in times of war and a hammer in times of peace bcos He is also a blacksmith
Shogun, or Shougun is merely a coincidence. It is a Sino-Japanese compound word written in Kanji as ' 将軍 '. Edo has different etymology and it was the capital only much later in Japanese history. As for Japanese language itself, the most agreed upon scholarly opinion is that of an isolate. Structure wise, some linguists say that it could be a mixture of some ancient Yaoi language and some kind of Pacific Islander language (from Joumon people).
I had a classmate in high school she was black. When I went to China I saw a Chinese girl with the same exact facial features as my classmate and even hair line that was short it was unreal.
Japanese language and Korean language are lonely languages. The roots of their language and genes are indeed obviously from Southeast Asian or black races. Later, after being baptized by Mongolian genes (including language), their appearance changed.
I'm from the Edo tribe of Nigeria. A year ago, my 15 yr old daughter asked me to explain to her just how the Japanese are related to the Edo tribe. It's been an ongoing joke, with her telling me to research my Japanese relatives!
In Ghana 🇬🇭 we name girls ‘Kabuki’. Our local natural cheese is called ‘Wagashi’. Other Ghanaian girls’ names that echo Japanese are ‘Koshie’ ‘Oboshi’ ‘Torshie’. Goku is an Ewe word which is also Ghanaian. There are many more words that are similar that I haven’t written down and I’ve been pondering 🤔 over this since I was a child. I am Ghanaian born into a family with strong Asiatic features. We passed the monolid and high cheek bones on to our children and their children’s children for centuries. I truly enjoyed this video, TFS 👍🏾👌🏾👊🏾🙂
You are so right. Ewegbe, Ga/Adagbe are the Gbe languages and are the same people originally from the Benin State in Southern Nigeria. Ewe/Ga and Efo are spoken in Ghana, Togo, Benin and Southern Nigeria.
@truth seeker Whew!!! Thank you for all the info! Even though I am a strong adherent to the out of Africa theory( which even the current Chinese scientist couldn't refute), you gave me lots to think about, names, groups and events! I know the Japanese themselves say that there was a group of people on the island that they called the little red men,( which I supposed were bantu) and the Ainu, I always wondered about Japan. That's what brought me here
Capital city in Zambia is Lusaka. 'Chikara' means power in Japanese but it's a widely used curse term in Bemba (One of the largest native tongues). I could go on. The weird thing is outside of other African languages with similar roots, our languages don't sound like any others from around...except Japanese!
It's so bizarre. I really wish there was more professional research done into this topic. Thank you for the comment. I'm glad to hear native speakers shed light on this for me.
CherryArmada watch the documentary Hidden Colours there are four instalments and they cover this topic and talk about how the dynasty's came about it's a really good watch
“Hello my name is Funmi, I’m here to pick up my order” “Oh! Are you part Japanese?!” “Nope, my parents are from Nigeria, they are Yoruba” “Really?” “Yea..no Japanese” “You sure?” “Pretty sure” “Oh okay... your name sounds pretty Japanese” “Yea I know. I have a friend who’s name is Yuki” “Are they Japanese?!” “Nope, they are from Benin” “Hmmm interesting...oh here is your food” “Arigato gozaimasu” *said perfectly* “YOU SAID YOU AREN’T JAPANESE!” “I’m not... 😏” “😶”
I have Nigerian friend. I'm native Japanese speaker. One time I was pronouncing Yoruba name and he was surprised I was able to pronounce it with perfect "accent", I guess what he's not experienced from his other English speaking friends (yes, we speak in English as common language). Also he mentioned before about how Tokyo old name used to be Edo and was interested about commonality because he was Yoruba man from Edo State
One of the funny mistakes what Afrocentric people have made until now is actually the Japanese they always talk about for this "Connection" theory is modern Japanese. lol. Ancient and medieval Japanese sounded very different like ancient Mongolian sound and Altaic Languages. As much as it's so hard to understand the lost sounds for modern Japanese people.
@@kingmartin3990 One of my cousins middle name looks is spelled the same way as a name in Japan. It also means the same thing. It's why her parents chose it. Can't spell the name, but I always find things like that remarkable
@Dhamih _”They're just pointing out some cool similarities between unrelated languages.”_ _”when someone finds similarities,it doesn't mean they are trying to claim your culture.”_ = Then, for what purpose did they make those false evidences?? _” is old Chinese also different from modern one”_ = 1000 years ago, 5000 years ago, 10000 years ago, nothing is same. _"because I have seen some similarities with Chinese and korean too,”_ = Oh, You don’t know they’ve lived next to each other since 2500 years ago till now. _”those east Asian languages have basis /constructs that are similar to African languages.”_ = Learn Finish or Tamil, you’ll see the real meaning of “similar”.
No apostrophe before your S unless it's possessive or an abbreviation for "is". There you go, this black man just taught you elementary school grammar.
You referenced a lof of the African words as "Sounding Japanese" lol I questioned myself do those words really sound Japanese or do Japanese words sound African.
You're right! Japanese words sound African. I'm retied US Navy 24 yrs of service. I've been to, and lived in all of those Asian counties for over 17 yrs. The indigenous people in all of those counties are/were so-called black AFRICANS! In fact when I was back in Japan, and China around 1999, I met a few! They're still there, and living up near the mountains. They told me to my face that they are of African descent! And from what I can tell, it looked like they were happy to see me! I'm a so-called African-American Lol They basically stay among their own, but the local people know that they're there.
Step 1 - Chose the country you want Step 2 - Find words in their language which sound like your language step 3 - Say "Hey, guys! We're connected!" (Notice : Never show people that 99.99999999% of their words are totally different)
I never talk to smart people Thank you for this. Oh and that Indigenous African Japanese story was hilarious. Some people are in love with their delusion lol
You are onto something with this. I'm West African, Igbo native, to be specific. I watch a lot of anime so I can tell when the phonetics match. Similar sounds and all, but even if it is just a coincidence, it's an interesting one.
i agree when i was young n i watched Anime and kung-fu flicks it was kinda krazy because i was really able to pick up alot of the dialogue very quickly. Even if i didnt understand the WORDS at time i usually could know what was being spoken on and the TONE. its funny he mentioned the whole idea of tones too...in the end if u ask me its clear that its not similarities....its one and the same
@pokezee king-wolf Turkic by definition is pronounced Turukic and in Africa Turuki (look up the African bantu tribe called Turkana - Turu-Kana means Zulu Kana/Gana/Ghana or Kwena or Gona people of the crocodile totem) and Zuruki is the same thing. As a Zulu, I can confirm a lot of Chinese especially in the autonomous regions are Zulu and African. That is why they are so dark. We also share the same tribal names. For instance, I am from the Mungwe or Hungwe or Mungo or Hungo caste. In China, the Hmong, who range from looking like us to looking mixed race but back, like about 5-15m South Africans, pronounce Mmong as Mung. Sesotho and Tswana/Chuan or Sesuan African language sounds a lot like Chinese, with names such Sumo, Palai etc. Japanese and Chinese conquerors (Han = white people) sold us to slavery in indian markets and we were bought by Dutch. Other names are Koniswang, Lebohang, Nkgopotse, Madibuseng etc. That is my language as a Pedi or Mbedzi or Mbezi person but I speak the main language spoken by Southern Africans: Zulu. An aside: The Turkish capital, Ankara, used to be called Angora which is similar to another Zulu country or town, Angola or Pongola, respectively. Also, Ankara means the place of the Ngala or Nkara people. Nkara or Ngala or Galla (like the Oromo in Ethiopia) is Lion, which is what we call ourselves as Africans. The current Turks only arrived as a white wave in the 1800s mostly displacing our people. The Turki you speak of, used to be black and aborigine before the Slavs took over Russia. Now, they are lily white just like how the Chinese turned white.
I'm from the Caribbean and I live in Japan lots of the stuff you mentioned here I noticed within my first month here. And there's a lot more similarities that I did not expect. Well done on the video.
I am from Edo in Nigeria, we greet elders with word like domor, and Japanese people use similar word to greet too. They just double it. By saying it twice, Domor Domor.
I can't see why not. I'm Indonesian and I have West African DNA in me but I don't even look African. My great grandfather is Japanese. So it's either I have the DNA from him or my West African ancestor travelled to Indonesia. And if my West African ancestor can travel to Indonesia, then why not to Japan? That's just my thought though.
The indigenous people of Indonesia were darker skinned and curly haired, similar to that of the Philipines, so it could be possible that they were Africans that just migrated to these regions long long ago before the Europeans did.
The scenarios outlined by Hammer include an out of Africa migration over 100,000 years ago, the YAP+ insertion on an Asian Y-chromosome 55,000 years ago and a back migration of YAP+ from Asia to Africa 31,000 years ago by its subclade haplogroup E.[25] This analysis was based on the fact that older African lineages, such as haplogroups A and B, were YAP negative whereas the younger lineage, haplogroup E was YAP positive. Haplogroup D, which is YAP positive, was clearly an Asian lineage, being found only in East Asia with high frequencies in the Andaman Islands, Japan and Tibet. Because the mutations that define haplogroup E were observed to be in the ancestral state in haplogroup D, and haplogroup D at 55kya, was considerably older than haplogroup E at 31kya, Hammer concluded that haplogroup E was a subclade of haplogroup D and migrated back to Africa.
This was interesting, I always was curious why languages in Nigeria are similar to some words in Japanese. You should do a video on Alternate History and what he did on what if Slavery Never Happened, can't stand his take on African history
The word ‘Congo’ means undefeatable in Japanese and the cognate ‘Nga ‘ ie naga is common in several languages.. also Wolof when spoken sounds like Vietnamese to me.. I believe there was an ancient relationship
I noticed far later after making this video that the accents of East Africans such as the Swahili sound very similar to East Asians. For example the fact that they tend to replace their R sounds with L sounds.
I think the break-up happened around the late 1800s and the 2 world wars. The countries were populated by black people - real Japanese, Chinese, Burmese etc. are dark. The Wushe for instance lost their port to Japan in the late 1800s and found themselves in AFRICA - a few are left in Taiwan - but Wushes call themselves Zulus and Sothos in South Africa. Some looked like Aetas with straighter hair, so when apartheid came along, whotes convinced them they are different and they are "coloured" - not quite white but definitely not black. SAME TRIBE!!!! But now they are DIFFERENT, according to white people!!! Then they mixed with some white conquerors and started adoring the white culture and affinity. Africa was built up over the past 200 years to be this populated through racial politics and economics and the search for economic, spiritual and political dominion. It is nonsensical that people lived by race - my family is mixed from centuries ago - we are generally light-skinned as opposed to really dark mixed people and Africans but we live as African black people because that is who we are. The black vs. white was introduced to divide and tell lies and not because it is truth.
We used to make up the conqueror's armies. The Arabs, Spanish, Dutch, English and pretty much every world power to the BC Persians used us as we were known as valiant warriors - The Khorisan/Khoisan, The Koxinga or Mashinga or Madinka, Maharlika or Malinga or Mande or Mali or Madi or Nian or Nien People of Israel. All conquerors used to have us as their fighters because God gave us fighting ability. That is why no AFRICAN army has been subdued by external parties alone. ALL armies that defeat us have to divide us and make us fight on both sides.
I think some African tribes fought in the US Civil War and Spanish and Spanish-US Wars. Just a hunch but I am usually right about these kind of things. There is more than meets the eye.

@@jewalss basically sciency way of saying genetically Africans are far more ancient and are connected more to the indigenous people of asia who predate the modern day Asian since the people on the Andaman Islands for example an island in the so called Indian Ocean (naga Kushite ocean) are directly connected to African lineages from long ago
You were right about language similarities (the tonality & words do not end with (voiced) constants). I'm Yoruba. I noticed Yoruba-Japanese language similarities when I came across their cartoons(Naruto)😆. The art works from both groups are great. But notice the Ife life sized artwork, it has almost no exaggerations, the nose, big lips shows they were locals, the headgear shows they were prominent members of the Yoruba society at that century. I give you credits, I love your compilation. But I can see u don't like trolls so you decided to clear things out, LOL 😂.
Yes I noticed the same thing! Here's a list of names and cities from Ghana that have a Japanese sound... Osei- Name Oyoko-Town Enchi- Town Sosu- Name Agosa- Town
You would also include every other syllabic language, if that is the basis for a connection. Whatever source you use you will find that at one time people came from one location and branched all over the world. There will always be survivals of their original language no matter how far apart they are and how few the examples. You need a longer list of word-similarities. And maybe that of the grammatical structures of the languages.
Trance Ford, Ghanaian? You forgetting words like "takashi" and even japanese wrestling "sumo" is derived from "somu" which means "to hold". They used names and words such a "nana" as well.
Robert Caslen absolutely you can see it all over Africa we were first my people we were first, especially the Xhosa people, Asian languages are tonal as well african languages we are all about sounds
Idk but this is def food for thought as my father is Nigerian and our last name sounds Japanese..in fact. Oftentimes when someone sees my name prior to meeting me, they automatically assume I'm Japanese and they are completely shocked to see that I am black. There are Japanese that have my family's same last name currently living I'm Japan...very interesting and my African family members do have the Asian shaped eyes.
Asians were black until 1900s. Japan, Korea was taken over by US. But you can't take away the brown. The Slavs moved into Russia and turned it white. It was black before. Russia has a lot of black history memorabilia.
Ntuthuko Zwane East Asians were not “black”. They’re all descended from ancient Siberians. Look at any art from before any European contact. There is no evidence that they had “black” skin. We Asians can have dark skin, but not like the African people.
Your observations are wise. Past history keep showing us that in these times “sharing knowledge” between people from different part of the planet was really connecting us. Let’s remember that we are all the same living being on this beautiful little world, being united
LOL. I noticed these similarities years ago watching anime and hearing similar and in some cases identical names to Yoruba. When I inquired I was rebuffed. A web search only turned up some speculation. Glad to see I'm not the only one who's noticed.
I was and am still amazed by the similarities in certain words in Japanese and in some Nigerian languages. Imagine my surprise when I watched an anime some years back and the MC had the abbreviated version of my name. I have also seen full versions of Nigerian names of varying tribes which are also Japanese names, but the only difference is that though they may sound alike or have similar spellings, they have different meanings. It's amazing!
Maybe Asian culture's retained more of the original languages of our frist ancesters that came out of southern Africa while the middle east gave birth to languages simular to the people's of Europeans I think it is possible but travel and the European and semitic divergence from the language that I theorized about
+The Yellow Sage possible but unlikely. Europeans and Arabs are more genetically similar to Africans and were a lot more connected to them throughout history through trade.
From Nothing another thing Africa has been trading with the east since well the 500s at least so this could be about that but I think it's just a coincidence
We all know the 'Ancient Japanese' people were black. We were everywhere..not limited to Africa. This is all just a huge ass cover up to keep the masses uniformed and unaware. The veils are slowly comin off and they don't want us to realize our true history or jus how close we are to taking this bitch back over. But issa comin.. believe that
@Odysseus Well if your entire race was treated like the scum of the earth by the same people who taught you your supposed history, would you believe it? If when you heard something and it triggered something deep within you, like a knowing, a realization.. would you ignore it and chalk it up as you being overbearing and paranoid or would you trust in yourself? Race to us simply isn't a factor in ancient history because anything ancient was BLACK. Period. It's true we WERE Samurais and royalty. It ain't about WHO we were, but about WHERE we were, and we were everywhere. We once ruled here, and we did an astonishing job at it too. You must understand that our ancestors entrusted that power and privilege into a people who never knew such divinity, and who took advantage of their newfound power and caused mass destruction, and for that we had to pay the ultimate price (slavery, police brutality, discrimination,). Take a look around. The world is in shambles. Not because of you, but because power was given to a greedy set of people who only cared about money and themselves. Not the suffering and well being of other's, let alone someone else's history, lmao. So please don't ever try and tell me I'm not happy in my culture. My being is the very essence of culture. This stuff gets deep, but I'm sure I'm just wasting my time explaining this all to you.
@Odysseus And also that "small set of blacks" you referred to are black people who have a mind of their own and think for themselves. We are the lucky ones who weren't completely brainwashed by deceptive textbooks or led astray by way of religion, is that such a problem? Besides, how do you know that what we claim isn't true? What makes what you were told any more relevant than what I was told? What makes your version of history truer than anyone else's? We think and believe what we please. This is a free country after all😉
I'm from the DR Congo, and speak Lingala, and for some reason there are so many words in my native language that have the same meaning in Japanese. The most obvious one is "nani", and those of you who watch anime know it means what. Well in Lingala "nani" means who and what. My older brother is also called Kenzo, which I've always found weird.
YOUR DOMINION WAS THE AMERICAS... the words may have migrated down. the same way you migrated out iron technology Your history is way way older than west Africa!! Central Africa wad invaded eons ago ... when Africa was "SAIL-ABLE continent ". 🌊 The last of those waters is Lake Victoria. infact the row boats use in Egypt was a modified copy of those 1st people from central --America--- Africa.. the sahara desert didnt even exist yet. review the OLMECs ** kongo faith cant be mixed with West African spirituality = it will blow your roof off !!!! lol people in the Caribbean who have west & central Africa people tried it, you cant blend both ancestors either. you have to choose. EUROPEANS ARE WRONG wth putting everyone under the "bantu umbrella" ✨ Africa is the home of the meekest people - from HUGE POWER KINGDOMS outside Africa. when humans get in trouble they come home. this is why its called mama Africa. Madagascar is a land were many asiatic people were in route to Africa to escape all of that 🔥🔥👍🔥. 2020 covid = many people from all races rush to Africa for safety. 🌍 🌎 🌏 the meek shall inherit the Earth.
the OUT OF AFRICA THEORY is wrong, they know Earth was once all Black, but instead of admitting it in the school books they explain African culture outside Africa. its repackaged as a migration thesis.. so if Kongo dance with a grass skirt and Hawaii dance with a grass skirt is just residual history. but did you know when the Europeans invaded Hawaii the 🤴🏿 👸🏽 monarch sent a boat to Africa for help (not knowing it also fell).
@@cinnamonstar808There are so many words in Lingala that sound like Japanese also think of city/region names like Kasenga, Katanga, Kananga, Kisagani, Basoko etc.
Several years ago I came across an anthropological book documenting tribes around the world. Unfortunately I cant remember its name. It had in it some some very old black and white photos documenting women from Congo. The women had elaborate hair-dos, very dark skinned, extremely high cheek bones, broad face and slanted eyes, shaped similar to a Japanese or Chinese person. I too had wondered if there was some connection between these Africans and the orient. Even the name Congo seem to have some similarity in wording with Hong Kong. Also I had a Jamaican cousin called Chi Chi (I'm not aware if she had any Asian ancestry).
I am Japanese and I was surprised that west Africa has pounded yam culture and Japan has mochi culture look very similar. In Nigerian Igbo and Japanese, Chika is the common name.
I am a Mosotho. other tribes joke with us saying we sound like chinese in some words we use. We have a hat that looks like the chinese straw hat. Some of people here have chinese facial features. They have similar nicknames "China". in South Africa there is a small country called Lesotho. It has a strong relationship with China. There is a connection.

The Khoi and San, our ancestors, who have those "Chinese feature" are one of the oldest groups in the world! And waaay definitely older than all of Japan or China's history! We have no relation with Asians, and tbh Asians are extremely antiblack.... And that should say a lot

The whole "We was Kangs!" reference is so very disrespectful to your own people. Of course every man is Africa wasn't a King, as it is not the case now. However, most people don't know that the equivalence of kingdoms and empires even existed on the continent prior to European invasion. Most people think that we were living lives that were very close to that of animals and that's why people don't respect Africa, now. Our experience did not start with slavery and colonialism. This is what the phrase, "We were Kings" means. This would have been a great video, IF you had not ruined it with that.

Great Video! Bibliography: A book written by Credo Mutwa (A Zulu Sangoma of South Africa), African Shaman, 1996. In the book Mr. Mutwa (speaks Zulu, a Southern Bantu Language) spoke about his travels to Japan; some International Religious Conference. Upon leaving the hotel he and his wife were able to speak Zulu and successfully interacting with Japanese people verbally. Purchase the book and be amazed!
I think what he is exposing is that at one time in pre Diluvian history there may have been a world wide culture like today and in these two languages we see the remnants of that ancient world language. Just as today English the language of one little island is spoken all over the world by different people in many lands.
That's what I believe too! In pre-deluvian days (our first time) we had developed world-wide culture connecting Africa to Asia to America (look at especially those afro-Asian featured Olmec heads!)
That busts the evolution lie pushed largely by Western scholars regarding different people groups being separated by +50000 years. More like 3500-4500 years.
But also, post flood, the ancestors of the Japanese people (The Jomon- Then possibly Ammon/Moab) were fairly close to the ancestors of the Yoruba (I personally believe to be the Hebrews).
@@beezelsub interesting, look at the Sans people in south west Africa the oldest people in the world. I have a friend from Taiwan who said they have myths of small dark skin wild men and to this day they have a ritual were they give offering to the little dark people so they won’t attack them said to be a ferocious people who preferred to live in solitude away from the new arrivals. I think this speaks of a Indian Ocean South China Sea people who became isolated once sea levels rose. You can see it in the people of the south Japanese islands.

As a HUGE language lover I want to commend your highly keen eye (or ear really) for spotting the similarities between two very diverse and very interesting language families! You also desrve commendation for your astute forewarning prior to actually engaging in these observations. You sir get an insta-sub from me 😊. Please continue sharing your what you have learned and I will eagerly be following your channel!
I knew Japanese were of African descent when I saw them dance in competitions. They hear music like we do. They go inside the music and catch what is going on inside and connect with it. They are fierce competitors in dance because they are a bloodline of the Kings of dance, the mighty Africans.
On the boat tip, Africans, and Amaru-Khans (us) were master boat builders and master navigators. They taught Europeans how to navigate. The Black Californians would sail the South Pacific and go Africa all of the time. Africans would do the same.
There’s definitely an Asian-African connection. The Beijing Opera sounds similar to music from Mali and other parts of west Africa. The tonality of the singers and the music that accompanies them are similar
I'll admit, the yoruba ethnic group always fascinated me. They have the most mysterious and unique history in pretty much all of Africa. With some records even saying, their the descendants of the first nubians ( don't know if that's true or not though.).
Still an interesting video for people to brainstorm, I feel like you should've included that modern day Japanese cam from areas of east Asia, maybe Korea? According to DNA. Whats left of indigenous people of Japan are the Ainu and they are closer related to the Aboriginal tribes of Australia. So that's why the video makes a good brainstorm, before the colonization of the island of Japan the world could have been more in contact with each other than what most people think. As far as the the Aboriginal and Ainu having similar DNA, well that's probably too far back for anyone to figure out.
The ainu people in japan are related to the Wa. The bushmen were calles Wa'nege. Okina'wa(japan). Their clothing are similar too. The robe of Ryukyu is very similar to the kente cloth. The Yaps orgin is nigeria,they have same ancestors as the shiya muslims who moved into india and eventually japan.....alice linsley explains it quite well.
I agree with language similarity - I just came back from Japan on a 2 weeks trip and live in China but originally from DR Congo grew up in the UK. I found that many of the names and names of places are similar to that of my country of origin dialect. I was baffled and couldn't understand why. Unlike in China Japan has a close link with African dialect from what I have seen. Thanks for the video.
"Unlike most other languages of East Asia, Japanese is a tonal language" Uhhh... What? Japanese is not identified as a true tonal language; it only has limited tonal elements, described as a "pitch accent". Chinese languages also make up a large portion of East Asian languages, and China doesn't lie in Southeast Asia any more than Japan does, which make some of your other comments about language very strange.
so it is not a "true" tonal language, so it has limited elements and he is discussing one of them- it is obvious that people left the continent at different times and went to different places, it is up to the "true" scientist to see the obvious and "convince" the European Establishment? or spend his or her creative energy going outside the European Box and searching for evidence- which is what they do, unless the evidence points in the wrong direction-and they sit on it. don't wait for them to admit the truth- and just because someone who calls themselves crissyisajojofan says it speaks Japanese doesn't mean it understands where the language comes from-
I’ve seen conflicting information. Some describe it as a tonal language, but as a soft tonal language as group it with languages like Norwegian and Xhosa, and others describe it as a pitch accent language. It is not like Chinese, but the way it uses tones is more similar to how African languages use tones
Great video. I just subscribed. There are some similarities in clothing as well particularly the Fulani hat which I believe is from another West African group resembles traditional Asian headwear.
I'm from east Africa and usually when I try to google something in my language I get Japanese pages and results. Plus most of my Sudanese friends have names you would mistaken for Chinese or Japanese. So this is not a surprise to most Africans. We just don't know the history or any possibility of a link.
I took Japanese in high school for three years and I am from the Yoruba tribe so I definitely picked up on a few similarities. My favourite had to be the Japanese word for water which is omizu because it is hella close to the Yoruba word for water which omi.
As a Polynesian watching this video this was really interesting. The similarities in the languages even. Maybe there was an actual connection between japan and Africa. In Oceania no matter what island you're from the language would mostly sound similar to each other. I don't really know what African patterns look like but when I saw that picture of the African sailor boat it resonates with me because the zig zag pattern in particular is so similar to ours
We must understand that the ancient Japanese people sprouted from two different tribes of late stone age, early iron-bronze hunter gatherers - first it was the Jomon tribe whose origins are yet to be ascertained, and secondly, the more developed hunter-gatherer Yayoi tribe which came hundreds of years later but whose origins are also yet to be ascertained. The existence of these two groups as progenitors of the Japanese is a widely accepted and supported fact by the Japanese themselves who have been discovering more and more archeological finds that teach them more about these ancient people. Both the Jomon and the Yayoi had spoken languages of their own but unfortunately, no writings or scripts have been found. Also, there are no written records about each coming from within their own tribes which tell of their origins, cultures and spoken languages, while records written about them by outsiders such as the Chinese are very, very few and inextensive. It is thought that the modern Japanese language spoken today still retains the language structure and vocabulary of both these ancient tribes albeit the writing system was adapted from the Chinese writing system while developing their own indigenous scripts derived also from the Chinese characters. So far, no African connection had been inferred nor implied in many of the studies and researches unless one can clearly prove that the ancient tribes had African origins. I would just like to quickly point out here that the Japanese word for "writing" (kakikomi) is a noun whose root word "kaki" was derived from it's verb form "kaku" (to write). Many Japanese words (as well as Austronesian words) are constructed in like manner by combining two words (compound) to form a new word. I wonder if the same is true with the African languages you have cited here. Lastly, I would just like to make a correction, the Japanese word for house is spelled "ie" which you spelled here as "Le". Thank you.
It will be interesting if scholars seriously looked into connections between ancient Japanese to African origins. In particular, the Jomon peoples (since they've been in Japan over 10,000 years before Yayoi Asian migrations), Japanese DNA connections to Andaman peoples (very black, ancient peoples off India coast), Japanese to Tamil & Tibetan language connections, etc
All you’re doing is prating in circles. You may fatuously surmise (although in a manner sure to portray your delusions appertaining the topic) you’re proffering a veritable insight perfidiously abnegating any possible connections between the natives of Africa, and those of whom abode on the lands of Japan presently....but you’re only unveiling the insalubrious demon billeting within your indubitable heart. You’re perspective (if any veracious intellectual would identify with such a doltish expression) is nothing more than a subjective manipulation of the research you’ve conducted amongst yourself, or contiguous with other bigots suffering incorrigible abjuration. Connive the cogitable possibilities, in which absolute verity, propound sincere souls making a spectacle of this video with a legitimate perception correlating both African and Japanese cultures in addition to physical features. Thank you.
@@かんぐちあき I recently watched a video on the AINU people of northern Japan. Strangely according to that video genetic research shows that the Ainu share the same haplogroup D as some West African tribes. It doesn't make a lot of sense because this is an isolated population in Japan. As an African myself , I skeptical of a lot Afro-centric pseudo-history. I believe that genetics will help us discover our long forgotten history. we are starting that process as a species imo.
Theres an african who came into Japan, his name was Yasuke (his african name is now lost), and he served as samurai of the Lord Oda Nobunada (if my memory is good).
I'm Nigerian Igbo. The Calabar people in Nigeria has a language thats so similar to the Chinese. They also have similar culture and cuisine with the Chinese
I took a Japanese class in high school and was astonished of how similar it was to Amharic & Tigrygna & the Ge’ez alphabet / Fidel. It was very easy for me to learn because the writing system, and speaking / pronunciations were extremely similar.
I know there is a connection between Yoruba and Japanese. The sir name Bishi is carried by many Yoruba people throughout the world. The name is also common in Japan and is used in a business logo called Mitsubishi. Also, when someone is black that doesn't always mean they are African. We know that to be true when we look at the indigenous people of Australia, and the Pacific Islands. They are black to light brown, similar to African but not African. I say that to illustrate that the original indigenous people of Japan were dark skinned people with African features. It is common knowledge that there are many black Asian people and their stories are relatable to West Africans even though they are not Africans themselves. So it's not unsual that there are many shared words and traits with Yoruba, or any other West African culture because they are related. Unfortunately the story of tat relationship has been lost, and not by mistake.
I’ve noticed this similarity between Yoruba and Japanese culture specifically. I am from the Yoruba lineage here in the US. It started with something as small as noticing that My nickname is Buki which is also a popular in Japan. From there the similarities just continued including the style of traditional dress being the Kimono for women, and buba, lopa for Yoruba, the patterns and prints and striking as some are the same. I’ve noticed the architecture, the culture of venerating ones Ancestors being the highest, and so much more. I’m really looking to explore this topic more, and this has been the first video that has actually made any sense. Thank you.
I watched a documentary on Japan and footage from the early 1900's. In both I saw some people who had hair, skin and features that looked like they had some African heritage. So I'm searching to learn more. I'm sure hundreds of years ago people traveled by boat to other continents. Interesting video examples of arr and language similarities.
I don't think you realize Asian ppl are multi colored. They can get black. Blacks and whites are shades and not multicolored so its hard to understand your ppl other than black or white. But Asians are black, white, red, olive, yellow, brown, even purple when drunk. Clearly East Asians, SE Asians, W Asians, Native Americans, Turks, Indians, Siberians, Polynesians are all part of greater Asia. Asians can be black but blacks can't be anything other than black. Black is also an Asian color. Same person can go from white to burnt black in the summer. White and black ppl never mention this because they can't do this but only Asians can do this.
Every human culture and ethnicity are connected one way or another, tracing back to the oldest human remains found in the Ethiopian lands. It is incredible yet not surprising that Japan and Nigeria have so many similarities. Even their alphabets are similar. It is a long history of evolution, and their shared yet unique language is proof of unwritten migrations and evolving culture and separation of colonies, taking place back thousands of years ago.
A H I discovered a town in japan which has exactly my AFRICAN surname !! and has written to a Japanese who has the same surname too .... ROOTS AFRICAN MIGRATION VESTIGE KEPT OUT ...why everything should disappear ???? I
I noticed the same thing after I lived outside of Tokyo in 1967. I was teaching elementary school on a US Air Force housing base (Grant Heights). Back in the United States, we had an ancient African community study group we named Kush Study Group. I came across ancient African words like: Kufu, Kafre (the ancient African son of Khufu)... reminding me of Kyushu (third largest island of Japan.) On and on...
@from nothing you should also do a video on the connections between Africa and South India, apparently if you check out Ron Eglash's video/book on African architecture, you find fractal architecture most common in Africa and South India
Ive been trying to explain this. I speak Ga an endangered language from Ghana popular in Accra and Im learning Japanese, so many of yhe words sound similar. I can say a sentence in Ga then Japanese and my friends wont be able to tell which is which. We even have similar words with the same meaning. And the names as other comments has pointed out! Thank you for this video, I was going crazy with all of these very similar words and sounds we share.
They call us Africans but we are The Original People of the Earth. Indigenous People of the earth. We didn't just live on one continent. We ruled all over. Something happened to us. Videos like this give hope we will remember our story again.
@@coreymarshall6014 No Creole from the East Coast. Exactly what it says in my TH-cam Name. I am a mix of African/Native American (SE Woodland Indians)/European.
This was way after that, and you've probably already heard about it, but to anyone who's interested there was an African/black man who was taken to Japan with the Porugese, and through a series of weird events became a samurai for Oda Nobunaga. He went by Yasuke I think. Just thought that was interesting.
Japanese isnt tonal, its pich accented. If Japanese is related to any language it might be Korean, they are neighbouring isolates. To me Songhai sound Chinese.
Some character on our writing system came from china and korea when buddhism is spreading and some characters like kanji was made by our own ancestors that's what i read in japanese history book.
@@politiciangoku7089 If I remember correctly Kanji came from Chinese Hanzi. Hiragana and Katakana were made by Japanese from Kanji. But I wasnt talking about the writing system, I was talking about the spoken language (the grammar, the words, etc...)
@@gunjfur8633 i thought you never realize but some of characters in kanji was made by our own ancestors what im trying to say, im sorry idk google bad translation, if your saying we are africans your not wrong cuz all humans came from africa but that is thousands of years ago all humans came from africa, in dialect we know it came from proto-japonic but don't exactly know where it came from because languages now have similar with chinese, korean and some austronesian maybe was influence by okinawans but this is a nice theory.
The German's tried to make a link between the Japanese and Aryan peoples. Aryans had roots in the plains North of India. Himmler thought some may have moved to Japan. Thus both having innate striving for quality in mechanical manufacturing among other qualities. I had a Jewish professor who said those with thick lips was a sign of a more advanced people. The point being if you want to manufacture a link between any two groups you can always find a method.
I agree to the possibility a 100%. I’ve always thought about this and wondered about the similarities and possibilities of being linked some how to the Japanese Asian culture and or people. I am from the northern part of Nigeria from a local government called Zuru. My features has always been compared to an Asian features. I have been asked many times if I was biracial mixed with an Asian. For starters, I have a traditional name from a Zuru dialect called “Dakar Kari “ my name is Oze. I was being nosy one day and thought to google my name. I only found Japanese writings etc. also found out there’s a national park in Japan called Oze. There’s a sake beer called Oze in Japan as well. That was an interesting find. Check it out.
@No Name i did but I'm just calling out on the fact that he call this research.its not about "everyone makes mistakes" the mistake he made proves that he know nothing about japan history and yet he is trying to make connections between japan and Africa when he knows nothing.everything he point out in this video can be proven wrong with real facts
@@user-lv4ne7nq1h everyone makes mistakes, probably just Google searched images and didn’t take a closer look at it. Doesn’t mean you’re whole thesis is wrong because you make one mistake with the stock photos

I'm dating a man who happens to live in Nigeria and is Yoruba. I always thought that his native tongue had an Asian tone to it. I found this video to be very interesting and has spurred me on to do my own investigation
Hmm, well both Japanese and Chinese are among the oldest groups of people in the world and have had minimal disruption in their cultures until the Europeans came, I think that they may share similar words because these may have been left over from when humans started leaving Africa and while you had more turmoil in western Asia, Europe, and North Africa, you did not in west Africa or in China and Japan, at least culturally. Even if West Africans did meet Japanese it is doubtful that they would have used so many words without them being the subject of conquest as that is the most common way that there is that much influence in language changing alot, so it is unlikely that mere undocumented contact would have led to this much similarity in their languages.
RokaSoka pale skinned Asians are relatively recent in east Asia.. even postcards and photos from the 1870 and onward reveal a much darker asiatic people than we see today..
RokaSoka ... that’s the most common way Europeans exchange ideas. Perpetual war is not our first instinct and that’s evident from the diaries of European invaders (so called explorers) who were not attacked upon arrival
Cameroon also. our names have meaning in Chinese and Japanese. I was like wtf when I was into cdrama and anime. That's why I like to say that it's easy for african to speak chinese and japanese than others languages since we have too many words in common and sometimes meaning the same
This wouldn't surprise me. I saw the name of an actor recently where I saw his name and thought he was Japanese but he was actually Nigerian-American. P.S. I speak a little Japanese but not enough to get around if I was dropped in the middle of Tokyo.
@DEVIN POHL I wont disagree with that. I will say this, I dont care to avoid conflict when speaking the truth, it does hurt sometimes but is severely needed, we certainly cant keep sugar coating and beLIEving in lies lol. You are respectful, this is why you spoke the way you did, so am I, this is why I agreed with you, to hell with those who want to fight and cause conflict, they will just be stuck in that cycle much longer lmao.
Robert Caslen especially when Africans were always believe to children of a lesser god and were ostracized for being african and every move took against Africans were deliberate, calculated, of hate, for skin color, and greed...as the truths are coming out we can’t just be asked to be ok with the facts that our history was hidden just because of hate

I’m From DR Congo. My cousin lives in London and she had a Japanese patient called “Matsokoya Makaku” ... in one of Congo language “Lingala”, it sounds like “Masoko ya Makaku” which is very bad sorry but please don’t say that. It is just an exemple of the similarity between the two... another example : “Nani”? In Japanese is “What”? And in Lingala it’s “Who”. “What” in Lingala it is “Nini”?! “Jana” じゃな or “Jane” じゃね in Japanese means “see you” and in the kiSwahili spoken in Congo, “Jana” means “yesterday”
And everything relates Yoruba say Kini (what), and Tani (who) Nani (japanese) what , yoruba say lana (yesterday) kiswahili say jana so everything relates
I am a black man that speaks Japanese as I went to school to formally study the language. I have been to Japan 3 times, studied Japanese healing and martial arts, and my ex-wife is Japanese. With all that Japanese cultural exposure I have always been struck and curious about the similarity of the Japanese and various African languages. It's fascinating. I don't know the connection but would like to some day take a deep dive into finding out whats at the root of these language similarities! :-)
Glad, you made your disclaimers bc people are quick to label us as liars and "Afrocentrics". I don't know what is what as far as why there are similarities from NIGERIAN languages, a country in WEST Africa and JAPANESE, an EAST Asian country. It's really odd, but I will say this. If you don't do research on your own, the public schooling system will have you believe that Europeans were the first and the only ones to leave the continent or trade with other continents. I learned only a few years ago how wrong that was. Now, I don't think Africans went out and made colonies, but evidently, they've been known to exist by others BEFORE Europeans. Some of the Olmec heads have us depicted, there are sculptures of Moors(MUSLIM Africans who apparently conquered Spain for some time) still in Spain. Egyptians apparently having cocaine in their system, etc. Africa is always such a mystery
Truly enjoyed this video , have been studying my lineage solely without the help of ancestry or anything like that . My intuition and omens (the Alchemist junkie here) have led me to believe in there being Asian culture within my family . My mom and me both share the same features regarding the almond eyes , high cheek bones . And as a black girl ive rarely seen anyone with my nose . These sculptures gave me chills . Thanks so much for your research . And like that other person said , DONT apologize to anyone for the assumptions they make of you . Asé
Hi great video and interesting topic, i hope that when additional information is found you can do a follow up video. The similarities in the languages are enough for one to ask questions. I think that their is something to it but without further solid info you might have to wait awhile . If you look at genetics you would find that the ancient y-dna Haplogroup DE , split into two E is carried by most Africans and D stayed in Asia. more that half the Japanese male carry Haplogroup D.
I really have no words to describe how much I LOVE your efforts and the fact that you share your factual findings (which must have taken a lot of your life) with us. THANK YOU SIR, people like you make me proud to be a human being ; )

Most younger people seem to enjoy some anime, go to an anime con and see how many white people and everyone else flood those things.
From Nothing I did some research and apparently a long time ago ancient East Asians traveled to Africa
East Africans traveled as far as China (And vice versa) but as far as I know, there was never any contact between Japan and Africa.
I never knew this!! I am japanese and have always felt close to my black brothers. This video made me feel even closer. I have Ainu indigenous blood and I notice my people are a bit darker than typical japanese. It is also possible when the polar ice cap was bigger, It allowed travelers to travel north on foot instead of taking a boat. I believe that is how the first settlers were able to reach such a isolate island as japan. There are actually 2 separate gene codes found in japan.. one coming from Asia and the other is unknown (Ainu)
All in all from what I know... white, brown, yellow ect... we all came from mother Africa, it’s embedded in every human dna. Cool video 👍
iMAClikeDRE I'm Asian with Chinese heritage, and I've felt close to black people too.

Well it turns out that the closest genetic relatives of the Ainu people... are black! The Ainu people of Japan most commonly share haplogroup D, which is only found in one other group of people, the dark skinned inhabitants of The Andaman Islands near India. The Andamanese Islander people are one of the most isolated groups on the planet, so its crazy to think that any person with indigenous Japanese Ainu DNA would share the same haplogroup that they do. They are also descendants of one of the first groups of people to leave Africa.
oneviwatara Fun Fact. Indigenous Ainus share a common haplogroup D with Andamanese Islanders
I'm Edo from Nigeria as a youngster I was surprised to find that Tokyo had also been named Edo and Shogun sounds like it was derived from Ogun, our war god similar words in Edo are akogun and balogun which means war chief just like shogun and we call the moon uki Japanese say tsuki and both uki and tsuki also mean beauty in both languages. Super weird.
Super interesting! It's crazy how incredibly similar they are for being so far away.
Pathrusim-Akuei-ⲃⲏⲕ son of Ham Nobody said they are related just pointing out linguistic coincidences. You don't think it's curious that 2 empires halfway across the world from each other both named their capital cities Edo? BTW the iron axe is actually for Sango the god of thunder, Ogun carries a sword in times of war and a hammer in times of peace bcos He is also a blacksmith
Shogun, or Shougun is merely a coincidence. It is a Sino-Japanese compound word written in Kanji as ' 将軍 '.
Edo has different etymology and it was the capital only much later in Japanese history.
As for Japanese language itself, the most agreed upon scholarly opinion is that of an isolate.
Structure wise, some linguists say that it could be a mixture of some ancient Yaoi language and some kind of Pacific Islander language (from Joumon people).

Japanese language and Korean language are lonely languages. The roots of their language and genes are indeed obviously from Southeast Asian or black races. Later, after being baptized by Mongolian genes (including language), their appearance changed.
I'm from the Edo tribe of Nigeria. A year ago, my 15 yr old daughter asked me to explain to her just how the Japanese are related to the Edo tribe. It's been an ongoing joke, with her telling me to research my Japanese relatives!
She must be cute 😍
Edo is the old name of Tokyo before they changed it.
Edo was the name of Tokyo before 1868.
It’s just romantic to imagine two distant cultures are somehow long lost cousins, fact or not!
There is no Edo tribe. Edo is the state. Bini is the ethnic group. Stop referring to your ethnicity as a tribe, it's demeaning
In Ghana 🇬🇭 we name girls ‘Kabuki’. Our local natural cheese is called ‘Wagashi’. Other Ghanaian girls’ names that echo Japanese are ‘Koshie’ ‘Oboshi’ ‘Torshie’. Goku is an Ewe word which is also Ghanaian. There are many more words that are similar that I haven’t written down and I’ve been pondering 🤔 over this since I was a child.

@truth seeker Whew!!! Thank you for all the info! Even though I am a strong adherent to the out of Africa theory( which even the current Chinese scientist couldn't refute), you gave me lots to think about, names, groups and events! I know the Japanese themselves say that there was a group of people on the island that they called the little red men,( which I supposed were bantu) and the Ainu, I always wondered about Japan. That's what brought me here
We have it in Zambia too, even the word for "mother" in Japanese is the word for woman in Zambia's largest native tongue.
Capital city in Zambia is Lusaka.
'Chikara' means power in Japanese but it's a widely used curse term in Bemba (One of the largest native tongues). I could go on.
The weird thing is outside of other African languages with similar roots, our languages don't sound like any others from around...except Japanese!
It's so bizarre. I really wish there was more professional research done into this topic. Thank you for the comment. I'm glad to hear native speakers shed light on this for me.

im from edo, the similarities are OD...my cousins have mad asian features but dark..theres asian n portugese in my dna too..hmm
True I believe these people borrowed from us as they did other cultures.
I have Nigerian friend. I'm native Japanese speaker. One time I was pronouncing Yoruba name and he was surprised I was able to pronounce it with perfect "accent", I guess what he's not experienced from his other English speaking friends (yes, we speak in English as common language). Also he mentioned before about how Tokyo old name used to be Edo and was interested about commonality because he was Yoruba man from Edo State
anthony k, source please because I can’t find anything on this
A Yoruba friend said to me once that some languages in Nigeria sounds eerily similar to those of east Asia.
Yes,that’s true. I’m Nigerian myself and each time I hear Japanese names,I’m always like “wtf? Are these people from Africa?” Lol 😂
It’s crazy!!!
One of the funny mistakes what Afrocentric people have made until now is actually the Japanese they always talk about for this "Connection" theory is modern Japanese. lol. Ancient and medieval Japanese sounded very different like ancient Mongolian sound and Altaic Languages. As much as it's so hard to understand the lost sounds for modern Japanese people.
@@kingmartin3990 One of my cousins middle name looks is spelled the same way as a name in Japan. It also means the same thing. It's why her parents chose it. Can't spell the name, but I always find things like that remarkable

@@田中太初-d1x I don't see what's the problem of comparing two unrelated languages. It seems to me it's more personal for you.
I'm Yoruba and I'm learning Japanese. Whenever people ask why I love learning the Japanese language I can never really explain it. This probably why.
How is the learning coming?
The Japanese taught the Yoruban's everything they know.
No apostrophe before your S unless it's possessive or an abbreviation for "is". There you go, this black man just taught you elementary school grammar.
@@FromNothing Uh... it was just a typo
You referenced a lof of the African words as "Sounding Japanese" lol I questioned myself do those words really sound Japanese or do Japanese words sound African.
You're right! Japanese words sound African. I'm retied US Navy 24 yrs of service. I've been to, and lived in all of those Asian counties for over 17 yrs. The indigenous people in all of those counties are/were so-called black AFRICANS! In fact when I was back in Japan, and China around 1999, I met a few! They're still there, and living up near the mountains. They told me to my face that they are of African descent! And from what I can tell, it looked like they were happy to see me! I'm a so-called African-American Lol They basically stay among their own, but the local people know that they're there.
@@coollock5912 what?
excellent comment and observation
Step 1 - Chose the country you want
Step 2 - Find words in their language which sound like your language
step 3 - Say "Hey, guys! We're connected!"
(Notice : Never show people that 99.99999999% of their words are totally different)
I never talk to smart people Thank you for this. Oh and that Indigenous African Japanese story was hilarious. Some people are in love with their delusion lol
You are onto something with this. I'm West African, Igbo native, to be specific. I watch a lot of anime so I can tell when the phonetics match. Similar sounds and all, but even if it is just a coincidence, it's an interesting one.
Zenme Yangzi nope not they were not especially great Zimbabwe they merely traded with them
He isn't saying the N word, hes forgetting to put the I in KKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG
i agree when i was young n i watched Anime and kung-fu flicks it was kinda krazy because i was really able to pick up alot of the dialogue very quickly. Even if i didnt understand the WORDS at time i usually could know what was being spoken on and the TONE. its funny he mentioned the whole idea of tones too...in the end if u ask me its clear that its not similarities....its one and the same
@pokezee king-wolf Turkic by definition is pronounced Turukic and in Africa Turuki (look up the African bantu tribe called Turkana - Turu-Kana means Zulu Kana/Gana/Ghana or Kwena or Gona people of the crocodile totem) and Zuruki is the same thing. As a Zulu, I can confirm a lot of Chinese especially in the autonomous regions are Zulu and African. That is why they are so dark. We also share the same tribal names. For instance, I am from the Mungwe or Hungwe or Mungo or Hungo caste. In China, the Hmong, who range from looking like us to looking mixed race but back, like about 5-15m South Africans, pronounce Mmong as Mung. Sesotho and Tswana/Chuan or Sesuan African language sounds a lot like Chinese, with names such Sumo, Palai etc. Japanese and Chinese conquerors (Han = white people) sold us to slavery in indian markets and we were bought by Dutch. Other names are Koniswang, Lebohang, Nkgopotse, Madibuseng etc. That is my language as a Pedi or Mbedzi or Mbezi person but I speak the main language spoken by Southern Africans: Zulu.
An aside: The Turkish capital, Ankara, used to be called Angora which is similar to another Zulu country or town, Angola or Pongola, respectively. Also, Ankara means the place of the Ngala or Nkara people. Nkara or Ngala or Galla (like the Oromo in Ethiopia) is Lion, which is what we call ourselves as Africans. The current Turks only arrived as a white wave in the 1800s mostly displacing our people. The Turki you speak of, used to be black and aborigine before the Slavs took over Russia. Now, they are lily white just like how the Chinese turned white.
Not a coincidence my friend.. negro black people are afro asiatic by origin!!
I'm from the Caribbean and I live in Japan lots of the stuff you mentioned here I noticed within my first month here. And there's a lot more similarities that I did not expect. Well done on the video.
I am from Edo in Nigeria, we greet elders with word like domor, and Japanese people use similar word to greet too. They just double it. By saying it twice, Domor Domor.
Amazing.
I can't see why not. I'm Indonesian and I have West African DNA in me but I don't even look African. My great grandfather is Japanese.
So it's either I have the DNA from him or my West African ancestor travelled to Indonesia.
And if my West African ancestor can travel to Indonesia, then why not to Japan? That's just my thought though.
The indigenous people of Indonesia were darker skinned and curly haired, similar to that of the Philipines, so it could be possible that they were Africans that just migrated to these regions long long ago before the Europeans did.
@Gray Ime those indigenous people aren't Africans. Genetically they are more closely related to South Asians, despite their appearance.
@@FromNothing yes, but those South Asians derived from Africa. Especially south Indians.
Africa and Asia was the same one continent many centuries ago remember
DKhisa he’s trying to cater for whites it’s actually funny
I feel like Africa and Asia have more in common than we think. I’m African and I’ve been saying that
@Suzie Q
YES! You are correct.
Africans (The First Man) & Asians in general do have a lot of shared/relatable cultural values.
Cultural values, also traditional ancient religion are very similar!
It's true.. Follow Praveen Mohan.. He bunks many things with real sites and evidences.
The scenarios outlined by Hammer include an out of Africa migration over 100,000 years ago, the YAP+ insertion on an Asian Y-chromosome 55,000 years ago and a back migration of YAP+ from Asia to Africa 31,000 years ago by its subclade haplogroup E.[25] This analysis was based on the fact that older African lineages, such as haplogroups A and B, were YAP negative whereas the younger lineage, haplogroup E was YAP positive. Haplogroup D, which is YAP positive, was clearly an Asian lineage, being found only in East Asia with high frequencies in the Andaman Islands, Japan and Tibet. Because the mutations that define haplogroup E were observed to be in the ancestral state in haplogroup D, and haplogroup D at 55kya, was considerably older than haplogroup E at 31kya, Hammer concluded that haplogroup E was a subclade of haplogroup D and migrated back to Africa.
@Jay Cole21 well, 🧬 Genetic material says that chinese have traded with african east coast...
This was interesting, I always was curious why languages in Nigeria are similar to some words in Japanese.
You should do a video on Alternate History and what he did on what if Slavery Never Happened, can't stand his take on African history
LBJTITAN23 ewee
LBJTITAN23 Human Nature period
I'm half Yoruba. And since I'm into anime, while watching the subbed versions I did notice similarities in words names and the language.
The word ‘Congo’ means undefeatable in Japanese and the cognate ‘Nga ‘ ie naga is common in several languages.. also Wolof when spoken sounds like Vietnamese to me.. I believe there was an ancient relationship
I noticed far later after making this video that the accents of East Africans such as the Swahili sound very similar to East Asians. For example the fact that they tend to replace their R sounds with L sounds.
I think the break-up happened around the late 1800s and the 2 world wars. The countries were populated by black people - real Japanese, Chinese, Burmese etc. are dark. The Wushe for instance lost their port to Japan in the late 1800s and found themselves in AFRICA - a few are left in Taiwan - but Wushes call themselves Zulus and Sothos in South Africa. Some looked like Aetas with straighter hair, so when apartheid came along, whotes convinced them they are different and they are "coloured" - not quite white but definitely not black. SAME TRIBE!!!! But now they are DIFFERENT, according to white people!!! Then they mixed with some white conquerors and started adoring the white culture and affinity. Africa was built up over the past 200 years to be this populated through racial politics and economics and the search for economic, spiritual and political dominion. It is nonsensical that people lived by race - my family is mixed from centuries ago - we are generally light-skinned as opposed to really dark mixed people and Africans but we live as African black people because that is who we are. The black vs. white was introduced to divide and tell lies and not because it is truth.
We used to make up the conqueror's armies. The Arabs, Spanish, Dutch, English and pretty much every world power to the BC Persians used us as we were known as valiant warriors - The Khorisan/Khoisan, The Koxinga or Mashinga or Madinka, Maharlika or Malinga or Mande or Mali or Madi or Nian or Nien People of Israel. All conquerors used to have us as their fighters because God gave us fighting ability. That is why no AFRICAN army has been subdued by external parties alone. ALL armies that defeat us have to divide us and make us fight on both sides.
I think some African tribes fought in the US Civil War and Spanish and Spanish-US Wars. Just a hunch but I am usually right about these kind of things. There is more than meets the eye.
@@FromNothing The Zulu people in South Africa also do that, at least the ones in rural lands. They don't say the letter R but pronounce it as an L
Just want to clear things up. The terracotta soldier in your thumbnail is Chinese, not Japanese.
I am a black guy and I really like Japanese.......they have so much discipline

@@mansatumaskeita8659 can you explain what you just said like your explaining it to a 10 year old because i did not understand what you said
@@jewalss basically sciency way of saying genetically Africans are far more ancient and are connected more to the indigenous people of asia who predate the modern day Asian since the people on the Andaman Islands for example an island in the so called Indian Ocean (naga Kushite ocean) are directly connected to African lineages from long ago
You could have that same discipline too if you tried hard enough.
You were right about language similarities (the tonality & words do not end with (voiced) constants). I'm Yoruba. I noticed Yoruba-Japanese language similarities when I came across their cartoons(Naruto)😆.
The art works from both groups are great. But notice the Ife life sized artwork, it has almost no exaggerations, the nose, big lips shows they were locals, the headgear shows they were prominent members of the Yoruba society at that century.
I give you credits, I love your compilation. But I can see u don't like trolls so you decided to clear things out, LOL 😂.
Yes I noticed the same thing! Here's a list of names and cities from Ghana that have a Japanese sound...
Osei- Name
Oyoko-Town
Enchi- Town
Sosu- Name
Agosa- Town
You would also include every other syllabic language, if that is the basis for a connection. Whatever source you use you will find that at one time people came from one location and branched all over the world. There will always be survivals of their original language no matter how far apart they are and how few the examples. You need a longer list of word-similarities. And maybe that of the grammatical structures of the languages.
Trance Ford, Ghanaian? You forgetting words like "takashi" and even japanese wrestling "sumo" is derived from "somu" which means "to hold". They used names and words such a "nana" as well.
Kumasi is another kne. I told a mate that my family had origins in kumasi and he said "you don't look Japanese"
“Sora” for sky In Japanese I wonder how it’s pronounced or if it sounds similar to “Osoro” sky in twi.
Robert Caslen absolutely you can see it all over Africa we were first my people we were first, especially the Xhosa people, Asian languages are tonal as well african languages we are all about sounds
Idk but this is def food for thought as my father is Nigerian and our last name sounds Japanese..in fact. Oftentimes when someone sees my name prior to meeting me, they automatically assume I'm Japanese and they are completely shocked to see that I am black. There are Japanese that have my family's same last name currently living I'm Japan...very interesting and my African family members do have the Asian shaped eyes.
Very interesting stuff.
Asians were black until 1900s. Japan, Korea was taken over by US. But you can't take away the brown. The Slavs moved into Russia and turned it white. It was black before. Russia has a lot of black history memorabilia.
Ntuthuko Zwane East Asians were not “black”. They’re all descended from ancient Siberians. Look at any art from before any European contact. There is no evidence that they had “black” skin. We Asians can have dark skin, but not like the African people.
古川佳龍 But, ainu people were black. you need to go search about picture of Ainu in 1800s. They had a dark skin and they had kinky hairs.
And how Nigerians can speak in perfect Japanese accent compared to European counterpart! 😁😄
Your observations are wise. Past history keep showing us that in these times “sharing knowledge” between people from different part of the planet was really connecting us. Let’s remember that we are all the same living being on this beautiful little world, being united
LOL. I noticed these similarities years ago watching anime and hearing similar and in some cases identical names to Yoruba. When I inquired I was rebuffed. A web search only turned up some speculation. Glad to see I'm not the only one who's noticed.
I was and am still amazed by the similarities in certain words in Japanese and in some Nigerian languages. Imagine my surprise when I watched an anime some years back and the MC had the abbreviated version of my name. I have also seen full versions of Nigerian names of varying tribes which are also Japanese names, but the only difference is that though they may sound alike or have similar spellings, they have different meanings. It's amazing!
Maybe Asian culture's retained more of the original languages of our frist ancesters that came out of southern Africa while the middle east gave birth to languages simular to the people's of Europeans I think it is possible but travel and the European and semitic divergence from the language that I theorized about
+The Yellow Sage possible but unlikely. Europeans and Arabs are more genetically similar to Africans and were a lot more connected to them throughout history through trade.
From Nothing another thing Africa has been trading with the east since well the 500s at least so this could be about that but I think it's just a coincidence
This is true and clearly seen!
@@FromNothing Europeans Have nothing to do with Africans!!!!
It’s most likely a coincidence since the Japanese language and writing system is based on Han Dynasty Chinese. A
At 9:00 the "Japanese" sculpture is actually a soldier from the famous Terracotta Army, so he is actually Chinese.
Good video.
Whoops. Damn that sucks, I'm surprised I didn't catch that, thanks!
No problem. Keep up the good work.
Yea I'll probably do something like that at some point.
I laughed when I saw the thumbnail.
EXtraOrdinary lol why
You know they have ancient African skeletons discovered in japan. And nevermind all the DNA evidence
They still have black people there.
We all know the 'Ancient Japanese' people were black. We were everywhere..not limited to Africa. This is all just a huge ass cover up to keep the masses uniformed and unaware. The veils are slowly comin off and they don't want us to realize our true history or jus how close we are to taking this bitch back over. But issa comin.. believe that
@Odysseus Well if your entire race was treated like the scum of the earth by the same people who taught you your supposed history, would you believe it? If when you heard something and it triggered something deep within you, like a knowing, a realization.. would you ignore it and chalk it up as you being overbearing and paranoid or would you trust in yourself? Race to us simply isn't a factor in ancient history because anything ancient was BLACK. Period. It's true we WERE Samurais and royalty. It ain't about WHO we were, but about WHERE we were, and we were everywhere. We once ruled here, and we did an astonishing job at it too. You must understand that our ancestors entrusted that power and privilege into a people who never knew such divinity, and who took advantage of their newfound power and caused mass destruction, and for that we had to pay the ultimate price (slavery, police brutality, discrimination,). Take a look around. The world is in shambles. Not because of you, but because power was given to a greedy set of people who only cared about money and themselves. Not the suffering and well being of other's, let alone someone else's history, lmao. So please don't ever try and tell me I'm not happy in my culture. My being is the very essence of culture. This stuff gets deep, but I'm sure I'm just wasting my time explaining this all to you.
@Odysseus And also that "small set of blacks" you referred to are black people who have a mind of their own and think for themselves. We are the lucky ones who weren't completely brainwashed by deceptive textbooks or led astray by way of religion, is that such a problem? Besides, how do you know that what we claim isn't true? What makes what you were told any more relevant than what I was told? What makes your version of history truer than anyone else's? We think and believe what we please. This is a free country after all😉
Babygirl Gigi very well said 👏🏿👏🏿
I'm from the DR Congo, and speak Lingala, and for some reason there are so many words in my native language that have the same meaning in Japanese. The most obvious one is "nani", and those of you who watch anime know it means what. Well in Lingala "nani" means who and what. My older brother is also called Kenzo, which I've always found weird.
YOUR DOMINION WAS THE AMERICAS... the words may have migrated down. the same way you migrated out iron technology
Your history is way way older than west Africa!! Central Africa wad invaded eons ago ... when Africa was "SAIL-ABLE continent ". 🌊 The last of those waters is Lake Victoria.
infact the row boats use in Egypt was a modified copy of those 1st people from central --America--- Africa.. the sahara desert didnt even exist yet. review the OLMECs
** kongo faith cant be mixed with West African spirituality = it will blow your roof off !!!! lol people in the Caribbean who have west & central Africa people tried it, you cant blend both ancestors either. you have to choose.
EUROPEANS ARE WRONG wth putting everyone under the "bantu umbrella"
✨ Africa is the home of the meekest people - from HUGE POWER KINGDOMS outside Africa. when humans get in trouble they come home. this is why its called mama Africa.

the OUT OF AFRICA THEORY is wrong,
they know Earth was once all Black, but instead of admitting it in the school books they explain African culture outside Africa. its repackaged as a migration thesis..
so if Kongo dance with a grass skirt and Hawaii dance with a grass skirt is just residual history.
but did you know when the Europeans invaded Hawaii the 🤴🏿 👸🏽 monarch sent a boat to Africa for help (not knowing it also fell).
@@cinnamonstar808There are so many words in Lingala that sound like Japanese also think of city/region names like Kasenga, Katanga, Kananga, Kisagani, Basoko etc.
Hi Zande i Love the language. in Zulu "nani" means what else" ubani is who. I have a fav song called Lingala - Lost Desert
Several years ago I came across an anthropological book documenting tribes around the world. Unfortunately I cant remember its name. It had in it some some very old black and white photos documenting women from Congo. The women had elaborate hair-dos, very dark skinned, extremely high cheek bones, broad face and slanted eyes, shaped similar to a Japanese or Chinese person. I too had wondered if there was some connection between these Africans and the orient. Even the name Congo seem to have some similarity in wording with Hong Kong. Also I had a Jamaican cousin called Chi Chi (I'm not aware if she had any Asian ancestry).
I am Japanese and I was surprised that west Africa has pounded yam culture and Japan has mochi culture look very similar.
In Nigerian Igbo and Japanese, Chika is the common name.
wow that interesting, I have a cousin named Chika
I am a Mosotho. other tribes joke with us saying we sound like chinese in some words we use.
We have a hat that looks like the chinese straw hat. Some of people here have chinese facial features. They have similar nicknames "China".
in South Africa there is a small country called Lesotho. It has a strong relationship with China.
There is a connection.

The whole "We was Kangs!" reference is so very disrespectful to your own people. Of course every man is Africa wasn't a King, as it is not the case now. However, most people don't know that the equivalence of kingdoms and empires even existed on the continent prior to European invasion. Most people think that we were living lives that were very close to that of animals and that's why people don't respect Africa, now. Our experience did not start with slavery and colonialism. This is what the phrase, "We were Kings" means. This would have been a great video, IF you had not ruined it with that.

Seeing this three years later and I agree with you, entirely. I only hope the videos creator read and understood your comment.

Great Video! Bibliography: A book written by Credo Mutwa (A Zulu Sangoma of South Africa), African Shaman, 1996. In the book Mr. Mutwa (speaks Zulu, a Southern Bantu Language) spoke about his travels to Japan; some International Religious Conference. Upon leaving the hotel he and his wife were able to speak Zulu and successfully interacting with Japanese people verbally.

Thank you for sharing this great bit of info!
I have this book. ❤
I think what he is exposing is that at one time in pre Diluvian history there may have been a world wide culture like today and in these two languages we see the remnants of that ancient world language. Just as today English the language of one little island is spoken all over the world by different people in many lands.
That's what I believe too! In pre-deluvian days (our first time) we had developed world-wide culture connecting Africa to Asia to America (look at especially those afro-Asian featured Olmec heads!)
That busts the evolution lie pushed largely by Western scholars regarding different people groups being separated by +50000 years. More like 3500-4500 years.
But also, post flood, the ancestors of the Japanese people (The Jomon- Then possibly Ammon/Moab) were fairly close to the ancestors of the Yoruba (I personally believe to be the Hebrews).
@@beezelsub interesting, look at the Sans people in south west Africa the oldest people in the world. I have a friend from Taiwan who said they have myths of small dark skin wild men and to this day they have a ritual were they give offering to the little dark people so they won’t attack them said to be a ferocious people who preferred to live in solitude away from the new arrivals. I think this speaks of a Indian Ocean South China Sea people who became isolated once sea levels rose. You can see it in the people of the south Japanese islands.

I knew Japanese were of African descent when I saw them dance in competitions. They hear music like we do. They go inside the music and catch what is going on inside and connect with it. They are fierce competitors in dance because they are a bloodline of the Kings of dance, the mighty Africans.
On the boat tip, Africans, and Amaru-Khans (us) were master boat builders and master navigators. They taught Europeans how to navigate. The Black Californians would sail the South Pacific and go Africa all of the time. Africans would do the same.

Fei fly also thesame meaning in igbo language.
There’s definitely an Asian-African connection. The Beijing Opera sounds similar to music from Mali and other parts of west Africa. The tonality of the singers and the music that accompanies them are similar
I'll admit, the yoruba ethnic group always fascinated me. They have the most mysterious and unique history in pretty much all of Africa. With some records even saying, their the descendants of the first nubians ( don't know if that's true or not though.).
I am aware that the sculpture shown was Chinese and not Japanese. We all make mistakes sometimes. I apologize.

Still an interesting video for people to brainstorm, I feel like you should've included that modern day Japanese cam from areas of east Asia, maybe Korea? According to DNA. Whats left of indigenous people of Japan are the Ainu and they are closer related to the Aboriginal tribes of Australia. So that's why the video makes a good brainstorm, before the colonization of the island of Japan the world could have been more in contact with each other than what most people think. As far as the the Aboriginal and Ainu having similar DNA, well that's probably too far back for anyone to figure out.
The ainu people in japan are related to the Wa. The bushmen were calles Wa'nege. Okina'wa(japan).
Their clothing are similar too. The robe of Ryukyu is very similar to the kente cloth.
The Yaps orgin is nigeria,they have same ancestors as the shiya muslims who moved into india and eventually japan.....alice linsley explains it quite well.
HEY THE FIRST CHINESE DYNATIES WERE BLACK …. XIA , ZHANG AND XIA
I agree with language similarity - I just came back from Japan on a 2 weeks trip and live in China but originally from DR Congo grew up in the UK. I found that many of the names and names of places are similar to that of my country of origin dialect. I was baffled and couldn't understand why. Unlike in China Japan has a close link with African dialect from what I have seen. Thanks for the video.
Very fascinating stuff
"Unlike most other languages of East Asia, Japanese is a tonal language" Uhhh... What? Japanese is not identified as a true tonal language; it only has limited tonal elements, described as a "pitch accent". Chinese languages also make up a large portion of East Asian languages, and China doesn't lie in Southeast Asia any more than Japan does, which make some of your other comments about language very strange.
Japanese isn't tonal I think he spoke on a mistake. I speak Japanese.
Erudito otidur
so it is not a "true" tonal language, so it has limited elements and he is discussing one of them-
it is obvious that people left the continent at different times and went to different places,
it is up to the "true" scientist to see the obvious and "convince" the European Establishment? or spend his or her creative energy going outside the European Box and searching for evidence- which is what they do, unless the evidence points in the wrong direction-and they sit on it.
don't wait for them to admit the truth-
and just because someone who calls themselves crissyisajojofan says it speaks Japanese doesn't mean it understands where the language comes from-
I’ve seen conflicting information. Some describe it as a tonal language, but as a soft tonal language as group it with languages like Norwegian and Xhosa, and others describe it as a pitch accent language. It is not like Chinese, but the way it uses tones is more similar to how African languages use tones
Great video. I just subscribed. There are some similarities in clothing as well particularly the Fulani hat which I believe is from another West African group resembles traditional Asian headwear.
I'm from east Africa and usually when I try to google something in my language I get Japanese pages and results. Plus most of my Sudanese friends have names you would mistaken for Chinese or Japanese. So this is not a surprise to most Africans. We just don't know the history or any possibility of a link.
I took Japanese in high school for three years and I am from the Yoruba tribe so I definitely picked up on a few similarities. My favourite had to be the Japanese word for water which is omizu because it is hella close to the Yoruba word for water which omi.
Yes. Also word for ocean (body of water) is "umi", ie = house or home and "ile" (home/house?) Many similarities
As a Polynesian watching this video this was really interesting. The similarities in the languages even. Maybe there was an actual connection between japan and Africa. In Oceania no matter what island you're from the language would mostly sound similar to each other.
I don't really know what African patterns look like but when I saw that picture of the African sailor boat it resonates with me because the zig zag pattern in particular is so similar to ours
We must understand that the ancient Japanese people sprouted from two different tribes of late stone age, early iron-bronze hunter gatherers - first it was the Jomon tribe whose origins are yet to be ascertained, and secondly, the more developed hunter-gatherer Yayoi tribe which came hundreds of years later but whose origins are also yet to be ascertained. The existence of these two groups as progenitors of the Japanese is a widely accepted and supported fact by the Japanese themselves who have been discovering more and more archeological finds that teach them more about these ancient people. Both the Jomon and the Yayoi had spoken languages of their own but unfortunately, no writings or scripts have been found. Also, there are no written records about each coming from within their own tribes which tell of their origins, cultures and spoken languages, while records written about them by outsiders such as the Chinese are very, very few and inextensive. It is thought that the modern Japanese language spoken today still retains the language structure and vocabulary of both these ancient tribes albeit the writing system was adapted from the Chinese writing system while developing their own indigenous scripts derived also from the Chinese characters. So far, no African connection had been inferred nor implied in many of the studies and researches unless one can clearly prove that the ancient tribes had African origins.
I would just like to quickly point out here that the Japanese word for "writing" (kakikomi) is a noun whose root word "kaki" was derived from it's verb form "kaku" (to write). Many Japanese words (as well as Austronesian words) are constructed in like manner by combining two words (compound) to form a new word. I wonder if the same is true with the African languages you have cited here. Lastly, I would just like to make a correction, the Japanese word for house is spelled "ie" which you spelled here as "Le". Thank you.
It will be interesting if scholars seriously looked into connections between ancient Japanese to African origins. In particular, the Jomon peoples (since they've been in Japan over 10,000 years before Yayoi Asian migrations), Japanese DNA connections to Andaman peoples (very black, ancient peoples off India coast), Japanese to Tamil & Tibetan language connections, etc
All you’re doing is prating in circles. You may fatuously surmise (although in a manner sure to portray your delusions appertaining the topic) you’re proffering a veritable insight perfidiously abnegating any possible connections between the natives of Africa, and those of whom abode on the lands of Japan presently....but you’re only unveiling the insalubrious demon billeting within your indubitable heart. You’re perspective (if any veracious intellectual would identify with such a doltish expression) is nothing more than a subjective manipulation of the research you’ve conducted amongst yourself, or contiguous with other bigots suffering incorrigible abjuration. Connive the cogitable possibilities, in which absolute verity, propound sincere souls making a spectacle of this video with a legitimate perception correlating both African and Japanese cultures in addition to physical features. Thank you.
Also I’d like to insert the additive of you researching the black Ainu of Japan. The ancient Africans inaugurated ordinance in Japan first.

You sure took the effort to write that long boring narrative. Where'd you copy paste that from, Joe Biden? 😆😆😆
@@かんぐちあき I recently watched a video on the AINU people of northern Japan. Strangely according to that video genetic research shows that the Ainu share the same haplogroup D as some West African tribes. It doesn't make a lot of sense because this is an isolated population in Japan. As an African myself , I skeptical of a lot Afro-centric pseudo-history.
I believe that genetics will help us discover our long forgotten history. we are starting that process as a species imo.
Theres an african who came into Japan, his name was Yasuke (his african name is now lost), and he served as samurai of the Lord Oda Nobunada (if my memory is good).
I know all about Yasuke but that was in the 1600s and he was a slave brought there by the Portuguese so that's a totally different category.

I'm Nigerian Igbo. The Calabar people in Nigeria has a language thats so similar to the Chinese. They also have similar culture and cuisine with the Chinese
I took a Japanese class in high school and was astonished of how similar it was to Amharic & Tigrygna & the Ge’ez alphabet / Fidel. It was very easy for me to learn because the writing system, and speaking / pronunciations were extremely similar.
Your eyes are close to being opened!
In the Swahili language the first five numbers end with vowels, very similar with the first vowels used while learning the Japanese language.
I know there is a connection between Yoruba and Japanese. The sir name Bishi is carried by many Yoruba people throughout the world. The name is also common in Japan and is used in a business logo called Mitsubishi.
Also, when someone is black that doesn't always mean they are African. We know that to be true when we look at the indigenous people of Australia, and the Pacific Islands. They are black to light brown, similar to African but not African. I say that to illustrate that the original indigenous people of Japan were dark skinned people with African features. It is common knowledge that there are many black Asian people and their stories are relatable to West Africans even though they are not Africans themselves. So it's not unsual that there are many shared words and traits with Yoruba, or any other West African culture because they are related. Unfortunately the story of tat relationship has been lost, and not by mistake.
I’ve noticed this similarity between Yoruba and Japanese culture specifically. I am from the Yoruba lineage here in the US. It started with something as small as noticing that My nickname is Buki which is also a popular in Japan. From there the similarities just continued including the style of traditional dress being the Kimono for women, and buba, lopa for Yoruba, the patterns and prints and striking as some are the same. I’ve noticed the architecture, the culture of venerating ones Ancestors being the highest, and so much more. I’m really looking to explore this topic more, and this has been the first video that has actually made any sense. Thank you.
I watched a documentary on Japan and footage from the early 1900's. In both I saw some people who had hair, skin and features that looked like they had some African heritage. So I'm searching to learn more. I'm sure hundreds of years ago people traveled by boat to other continents. Interesting video examples of arr and language similarities.
I don't think you realize Asian ppl are multi colored. They can get black. Blacks and whites are shades and not multicolored so its hard to understand your ppl other than black or white. But Asians are black, white, red, olive, yellow, brown, even purple when drunk. Clearly East Asians, SE Asians, W Asians, Native Americans, Turks, Indians, Siberians, Polynesians are all part of greater Asia. Asians can be black but blacks can't be anything other than black. Black is also an Asian color. Same person can go from white to burnt black in the summer. White and black ppl never mention this because they can't do this but only Asians can do this.
Every human culture and ethnicity are connected one way or another, tracing back to the oldest human remains found in the Ethiopian lands. It is incredible yet not surprising that Japan and Nigeria have so many similarities. Even their alphabets are similar. It is a long history of evolution, and their shared yet unique language is proof of unwritten migrations and evolving culture and separation of colonies, taking place back thousands of years ago.
A H I discovered a town in japan which has exactly my AFRICAN surname !! and has written to a Japanese who has the same surname too .... ROOTS AFRICAN MIGRATION VESTIGE KEPT OUT ...why everything should disappear ???? I
Kassius KLAY interesting!
I noticed the same thing after I lived outside of Tokyo in 1967. I was teaching elementary school on a US Air Force housing base (Grant Heights). Back in the United States, we had an ancient African community study group we named Kush Study Group. I came across ancient African words like: Kufu, Kafre (the ancient African son of Khufu)... reminding me of Kyushu (third largest island of Japan.) On and on...
@from nothing you should also do a video on the connections between Africa and South India, apparently if you check out Ron Eglash's video/book on African architecture, you find fractal architecture most common in Africa and South India
The "Japanese" statue in the thumbnail is actually Chinese. And from the Qin terra cotta army of the first emperor of China.
Thank you for posting this, my brother🧔🏾👌🏾
Ive been trying to explain this. I speak Ga an endangered language from Ghana popular in Accra and Im learning Japanese, so many of yhe words sound similar. I can say a sentence in Ga then Japanese and my friends wont be able to tell which is which. We even have similar words with the same meaning. And the names as other comments has pointed out! Thank you for this video, I was going crazy with all of these very similar words and sounds we share.
They call us Africans but we are The Original People of the Earth. Indigenous People of the earth. We didn't just live on one continent. We ruled all over. Something happened to us. Videos like this give hope we will remember our story again.

This was way after that, and you've probably already heard about it, but to anyone who's interested there was an African/black man who was taken to Japan with the Porugese, and through a series of weird events became a samurai for Oda Nobunaga. He went by Yasuke I think. Just thought that was interesting.

Japanese isnt tonal, its pich accented. If Japanese is related to any language it might be Korean, they are neighbouring isolates.
To me Songhai sound Chinese.
Some character on our writing system came from china and korea when buddhism is spreading and some characters like kanji was made by our own ancestors that's what i read in japanese history book.
@@politiciangoku7089
If I remember correctly Kanji came from Chinese Hanzi. Hiragana and Katakana were made by Japanese from Kanji.
But I wasnt talking about the writing system, I was talking about the spoken language (the grammar, the words, etc...)
@@gunjfur8633 i thought you never realize but some of characters in kanji was made by our own ancestors what im trying to say, im sorry idk google bad translation, if your saying we are africans your not wrong cuz all humans came from africa but that is thousands of years ago all humans came from africa, in dialect we know it came from proto-japonic but don't exactly know where it came from because languages now have similar with chinese, korean and some austronesian maybe was influence by okinawans but this is a nice theory.
The German's tried to make a link between the Japanese and Aryan peoples. Aryans had roots in the plains North of India. Himmler thought some may have moved to Japan. Thus both having innate striving for quality in mechanical manufacturing among other qualities.
I had a Jewish professor who said those with thick lips was a sign of a more advanced people.
The point being if you want to manufacture a link between any two groups you can always find a method.
I agree to the possibility a 100%. I’ve always thought about this and wondered about the similarities and possibilities of being linked some how to the Japanese Asian culture and or people. I am from the northern part of Nigeria from a local government called Zuru. My features has always been compared to an Asian features. I have been asked many times if I was biracial mixed with an Asian. For starters, I have a traditional name from a Zuru dialect called “Dakar Kari “ my name is Oze. I was being nosy one day and thought to google my name. I only found Japanese writings etc. also found out there’s a national park in Japan called Oze. There’s a sake beer called Oze in Japan as well. That was an interesting find. Check it out.

Hmm, well both Japanese and Chinese are among the oldest groups of people in the world and have had minimal disruption in their cultures until the Europeans came, I think that they may share similar words because these may have been left over from when humans started leaving Africa and while you had more turmoil in western Asia, Europe, and North Africa, you did not in west Africa or in China and Japan, at least culturally. Even if West Africans did meet Japanese it is doubtful that they would have used so many words without them being the subject of conquest as that is the most common way that there is that much influence in language changing alot, so it is unlikely that mere undocumented contact would have led to this much similarity in their languages.
East Africa I dont know if they think so... But I think that's pretty freaking cool
RokaSoka pale skinned Asians are relatively recent in east Asia.. even postcards and photos from the 1870 and onward reveal a much darker asiatic people than we see today..
RokaSoka ... that’s the most common way Europeans exchange ideas. Perpetual war is not our first instinct and that’s evident from the diaries of European invaders (so called explorers) who were not attacked upon arrival
RokaSoka no they are not

Cameroon also. our names have meaning in Chinese and Japanese. I was like wtf when I was into cdrama and anime. That's why I like to say that it's easy for african to speak chinese and japanese than others languages since we have too many words in common and sometimes meaning the same

another example : “Nani”? In Japanese is “What”? And in Lingala it’s “Who”. “What” in Lingala it is “Nini”?!
“Jana” じゃな or “Jane” じゃね in Japanese means “see you” and in the kiSwahili spoken in Congo, “Jana” means “yesterday”
And everything relates Yoruba say Kini (what), and Tani (who) Nani (japanese) what , yoruba say lana (yesterday) kiswahili say jana so everything relates
Thanks!
I’m west African… Nigerian, and my name is Jiro, my sisters name is Maro… I can tell you the language is ver VERY similar
I am a black man that speaks Japanese as I went to school to formally study the language. I have been to Japan 3 times, studied Japanese healing and martial arts, and my ex-wife is Japanese. With all that Japanese cultural exposure I have always been struck and curious about the similarity of the Japanese and various African languages. It's fascinating. I don't know the connection but would like to some day take a deep dive into finding out whats at the root of these language similarities! :-)
I'm from Nigeria Yoruba, and yeah our language and names sound the same
Even our facial features can have extreme similarity.
Glad, you made your disclaimers bc people are quick to label us as liars and "Afrocentrics". I don't know what is what as far as why there are similarities from NIGERIAN languages, a country in WEST Africa and JAPANESE, an EAST Asian country. It's really odd, but I will say this. If you don't do research on your own, the public schooling system will have you believe that Europeans were the first and the only ones to leave the continent or trade with other continents. I learned only a few years ago how wrong that was. Now, I don't think Africans went out and made colonies, but evidently, they've been known to exist by others BEFORE Europeans. Some of the Olmec heads have us depicted, there are sculptures of Moors(MUSLIM Africans who apparently conquered Spain for some time) still in Spain. Egyptians apparently having cocaine in their system, etc. Africa is always such a mystery
There is no linguistic link between east Asia and sub Saharan Africa says every scholar in academia specializing in linguistics.
Truly enjoyed this video , have been studying my lineage solely without the help of ancestry or anything like that . My intuition and omens (the Alchemist junkie here) have led me to believe in there being Asian culture within my family . My mom and me both share the same features regarding the almond eyes , high cheek bones . And as a black girl ive rarely seen anyone with my nose . These sculptures gave me chills . Thanks so much for your research . And like that other person said , DONT apologize to anyone for the assumptions they make of you . Asé
Hi great video and interesting topic, i hope that when additional information is found you can do a follow up video. The similarities in the languages are enough for one to ask questions. I think that their is something to it but without further solid info you might have to wait awhile . If you look at genetics you would find that the ancient y-dna Haplogroup DE , split into two
E is carried by most Africans and D stayed in Asia. more that half the Japanese male carry Haplogroup D.
