Geneticist Hiroyuki Sasaki:
The Japanese people (日本人 Nihonjin?) are an ethnic group native to Japan. Japanese is not a race. There are no unique genetic markers to make Japanese a separate race from other Asians. The term ethnic Japanese is used in some contexts to refer to a locus of ethnic groups including the Yamato (the dominant ethnic group, comprising over 120 million), Ainu, Ryukyuan people of Okinawa, and the Kumaso/Hayato of Kyushu.
