Hello all,

This will be an odd question, but does anyone know if there were any
Ainu actors in prewar Japanese film? I have seen a couple of silents
recently which featured actors that look like they might, in fact, be
of Ainu decent, though I could just be seeing things. The western
looking man in Naruse's "No Blood Relation" (1932) comes to mindPardon
me if this is an odd question.

Pete
