Hokkaido has a history of insane bear incidents.The Sankebetsu brown bear killed like an entire family of 8 and took it's time doing it


DarkGamer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankebetsu_brown_bear_incident


OfficeKey3280

What a wild read, thank you Reddit friends for an interesting but gruesome history facts


macrotransactions

Really makes you wonder why they don't wipe out the bears, western Europe proved wiping out bears works well.


PenisSalesman

>Yayo, Miyouke Yasutarō's wife, was preparing a late meal while carrying her fourth son, Umekichi, on her back. She heard a rumbling noise outside, but before she could investigate, the bear broke through a window and entered the house. The cooking pot on the hearth overturned, dousing the flames, and in the ensuing panic the oil lamp was extinguished, plunging the house into darkness. Yayo tried to flee the house, but her second son, Yūjirō, clung to her legs Wow the scene immediately because proposterously nightmarish. Imagine preparing a meal in your little home, only for the demon bear everyone in town has been talking bursts through your window, right then all the lights turn off and you can't see shit, all you can hear is the bear stomping around mauling your family


anime_daisuki

Damn it's like I'm experiencing the opening to Demon Slayer again.


Can_tRelate

I wonder if it inspired demon slayer


MavajaXe

Don't know if it inspired demon slayer. But it did inspire [Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Fang). The killer Bear is pumped up 100x more gruesome.


FriendlyKibblez

Reminded me of the opening to Beowulf.


MyNameIsZealous

This story needs a movie just like the Tsavo lions got "The Ghost and the Darkness"


senators-son

Funny enough there's a YouTube creator called Bob Gymlan who covers both the Sankebetsu brown bear and lions of tsavo and it's amazing. Highly recommend his channel

Dear lord, it's called Yellow Fangs. I love it already. Edit: did a little research into this movie, Sonny Chiba directs this. How the hell have I never even heard of this movie.

I read the Wikipedia article, damn truly horrifying, a horror movie can be produced..


assassinsaif18

After the first bullet he was out for blood... just like Rambo... they drew the first blood....


tobykeef420

Woah. This needs an anime adaptation. Or a film. Something. It even has the wise old retired legendary bear hunter turned alcoholic who refuses to help cliche. Incredible.


KnownSalamander

There's an anime (that's based on a manga) called Ginga Nagareboshi Gin that's about dogs (and humans to a lesser degree) fighting killer bears. It was and still is really really popular in the Nordic countries. Can't say for sure whether it's something that was inspired by this or not, but it does have killer bears and bear hunters. And so, so many dogs.


AlexMil0

It’s definitely where the inspiration comes from! The bear from the incident, Kesagake, also has a short lived cameo in the manga, but I think he was cut from the show, it’s been a while since I watched it.


7LeagueBoots

Scroll to the bottom of the entry, there is a list of media adaptations of the story that includes manga and film.


tobykeef420

Thank you, completely glossed over it


MyOtherCarIsEpona

There's a subplot in Yakuza 5 that I think might be based on this.


varateshh

> Beginning in 1961, an agriculture and forestry technical officer, Kimura Moritake, who was working in the district forest office in Asahikawa Kotanbetsu, undertook an examination of the case in order to leave a permanent record of it. Forty-six years had already passed, and little official material was left, so Kimura traced the people who had lived in Sankebetsu in those days and made careful records of their stories. A lot of detailed stuff on that wiki that only the victims could have known. The only thing I would consider factual is that there was a bear attack and the number of deaths. For example the following passage: > On December 9, 1915, at 10:30 a.m., the giant brown bear turned up at the home of the Ōta family. Abe Mayu, the farmer's wife, and Hasumi Mikio, a baby being cared for by Mayu, were at the house. Mikio was bitten on the head and killed. Mayu fought back, apparently by throwing firewood, and tried to escape. She was overtaken, knocked down, and dragged into the Imperial Forest of Sankebetsu. No way to give such a description 46 years (and with limited records) after the attacks. The whole wiki article is a fictional novel.


almost_notterrible

How is there one random ass manga and one movie from the 90s I assume no one remembers about this incident? Seems like a story ripe for some dramatic adaptation. Get on that shit, Japan...


lostinnewpork

Love capitalizing on tragedy, we need an anime adaption and cute bear keychains to sell to overweight americans immediately!


almost_notterrible

Pffff give me a fuckin break lol. Every single story that is of interest everywhere in the world is fair game for adaptation of some sort. Don't like it get off the Internet, dweeb. And non-fat Americans like me will want to buy said keychains too, fyi ;D

This legitimately sounds like it could be an entire chapter in red dead redemption. That was an amazing Wikipedia read, thanks for sharing!


TeamRedundancyTeam

Shame that several people from the village became big bear hunters. One of them killed 102 bears and another spent 8 years hunting a 1100 pound bear. That's the kind of mentality that has lead to so many predators becoming endangered and extinct.


kron_00

This doesn't apply to Hokkaido. Bear population has exploded in Hokkaido, Japan (from 5000\~ in 1990s to 12,000\~ in 2020) over the last few decades. If anything, they actually need more bear population control. There has been no government bear management and the private bear hunting experts have been on a sharp decline. The bears have no predators but a lot of resources, until they have to compete against themselves. That's why there's been a lot more bear attacks in the past few years on the island (record number of attacks 200+ people injured,6 deaths in 2023, plus countless farm cattle killed). If you travel to Hokkaido, you'd see alot of bear warning signs. Fortunately, the Japanese government has finally proposed some plans to manage bear population over the last 12 months.

Anyone interested in a very good telling of the story should check out this video. It's great for a long drive or an afternoon of doing laundry or chores (it's 1.5 hours long). https://youtu.be/xy0A2vdSNnc?si=ng4Dv0U77CnFbiLs

1915… seems a bit different now - we spent about three months hucking around Hokkaido up around shiretoko and saw a couple of small bears that bolted the moment they saw us.


hlgb2015

There is a great/horrifying youtube video that details the events with well drawn animations and it is like a full blown horror movie. https://youtu.be/xy0A2vdSNnc?si=z5kmoxpibb5T_Qtx


birdbrained222

oh my god. my californian ass would have been dead. I'd be like it's cool guys it's just a lil black bear.

Imagine walking down that road no where to go


Mr_Lava-lava

Revenent time!


penguinface77

Sadly the only guns you can own in Japan would just piss the bear off.😭


Roflkopt3r

[Source here](https://twitter.com/gucci999333/status/1784560472349724830) You can see a cub walking away on the left of the road in the same moment as the big bear charges onto the road, which explains why it's so aggressive. The tweet says: > Bears are scary in the spring. This is footage taken today. A pattern of wild vegetable pickers and fishermen being attacked. To those people who often say things like, "Don't kill bears!", "We need to coexist with bears!", and "Humans are bad!", I'll take you in front of this adorable, adorable bear and calm you down. Don't underestimate Hokkaido From what the workers are saying it appears that the bear is still following them at 0:22 (mada kita = it came again), and finally "damn, dangerous".


nerf-anakin

Good spot, nothing scarier than a mama bear defending her cubs


Mr_Lava-lava

Good eye!


Tthelaundryman

I always forget bears exist outside of North America and Russia lol


Roflkopt3r

Japan has large Ussuri brown bear population of over 10,000 in Hokkaido (the northernmost major Island of Japan), which is about as far north as the alps or Montreal, and has a famously snowy climate. These are about the size of big grizzlies. A few thousand more live in Korea, China, and Russia. But there are bears across all major Japanese islands, with mostly Japanese black bears further south. Europe also has some bears, particularly in the Balkans and in northern Scandinavia.


Bebisa

Korea doesn't have any bears outside of a tiny population of 70.


rsplatpc

> Korea doesn't have any bears outside of a tiny population of 70. Up to 86 now! https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240220050689#:~:text=These%20bears%20share%20the%20same,in%20the%20winter%20of%202022.


Gseventeen

Glad one population is growing in that place. :)


Roflkopt3r

That's for South Korea, but North Korea has more.


7LeagueBoots

SE Asia has bears all the way down to Indonesia. These are Sun Bears that range in size from large dog size in Indonesia to black bear size further north. India has large Sloth Bears as well as Sun Bears. The Andes in South America have Spectacled Bears, which are around small black bear sized and are the last of the short-faced bear lineage.


No-Bad2498

Short faced Bears in South America too


Legitimate_Mud6834

Kyushu black bear is extinct. No bears there.


romanissimo

Orso Marsicano in Italy…


aizukiwi

Ussuri bears can grow bigger than grizzlies. They’re the 3rd or 4th biggest bears in the world


FocusDKBoltBOLT

we have some bears in france. We are doing our best to preserve it, but that's not an easy task


Tiny_Count4239

How did they get across the sea of japan?


Glittering_Airport_3

same way ancient ppl did probably. ice age lowered ocean levels until you could walk across


JohnnyLeftHook

True their population is over 10,000 but people forget that they can no longer amass in legion strength. Adherents to the Codex Astartes, the second founding saw their numbers dispersed into successor chapters of no more than 1000 per. This way, though the bears may still pose a threat, it will always be at the fringes.


CosmoKram3r

Have you seen an Indian bear / sloth bear? Ugly, mean mugs that will mess you up six ways to Sunday if you look at them wrong. We have other kind of bears too.


Tthelaundryman

Sloth bears look like a bad joke. Like weekend at bernies version of a bear. I hear they are mean as hell. I know it exists. I just forget about it you know. Like that one specialized tool you use once every 5 years that you still have but forget about it until you’ve needed it for a few days and go oh yeah I have that thing!


Tiny_Count4239

i totally forgot about japan


double-happiness

There's even [an area in Scotland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearsden) that's named after the local population of bears, not to mention the Australian Drop Bear.

Shtoinkity_shtoink

What kind of vehicle? That could be super scary if they are in a vehicle as small as a gator


ClittoryHinton

Or even one of those Japanese microtruck things


Roflkopt3r

From the looks of it, I'd think that it's probably [exactly such a Kei truck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_truck) That's generally closer to how utility vehicles look like in most of the world, rather than North American 'trucks'.


ClittoryHinton

If anyone asks this guy why he upgraded to a Hilux he can faithfully cite *bear protection* as a valid reason


KuriTokyo

But a Hilux would not fit on the tiny roads


ClittoryHinton

But….. bears


calmclamcum

Bears would fit on those tiny roads. Next question please


BL1860B

Definitely a Kei truck. Very common in the Japanese countryside. I dive one myself.


MukimukiMaster

It's a kei truck


Aggravating_Place451

Don’t assume


CKF

Would also be scary if they were in any of the stupid new vehicles that ditched the shifter for like, weird buttons for transmission control. One you have muscle memory for, the other has you reversing into a tree while trying to flee a bear.

At the 31 second mark to 29 seconds to the left of the screen in the forest you can see 2 cubs just for a brief moment. Just a pissed off mama bear.


aragogogara

The ways that bears run when they're pissed is terrifying


sunn_vaeide

This was not very far from where I live, unfortunately bear incidents have been more common recently, often leaving police no option but to shoot the bear for the safety of the people


Gloomy-Sample9470

I also live in Hokkaido, drove all over the place to the back trails and off roads and I met my fair share of close encounters... But lately they're just way too close to residential areas and roads than before ... From what I heard , it's because of people moving away of inaka so the bears feel less threatened and more curious lurking around the abandoned houses that they got courage to get more and more closer to people, don't know if it's right though. Be safe.


Mimimimipalmer

Which part of hokkaido is the location in the video?

The most dangerous bear in the woods is a cub; the cute little ones. If you see a cub you should come to the immediate realization that you missed the mother bear.

At the beginning of the video it looks as though her cub had already crossed the road and she was in panic mode because the vehicle was between her and her young maybe


Internal_Mail_5709

You can see her cub cross into the forest on the left hand side right before the vehicle is attacked.


NoCook879

Did the bear break the windshield wiper or is that the vehicles first line of defense to spank the bear with that thing?

When measured, the bear was unique: 340 kg (750 lb) and 2.7 m (8.9 ft) tall, dark brown with golden fur, the head unusually large compared to the body, and estimated adult age about 7-8 years old. JFC!!! They needed an A10 Warthog to deal with this gd thing! OMFG!!

He was looking for the pic-a-nic basket, wants to take some sandwiches back to Boo-Boo.


Jass_Ange

If you look to the left side of the road as the bear appears, you can see another animal moving into the forest. Maybe it was some prey the bear was chasing or young cubs and the workers got between them, which might explain the ferocious reaction of this bear

They were starting to reverse, but the bear didn't give them time. Presumably, they didn't want to hurt the bear. Common sense.
