The information is for research showing a comparison of fatal bear attacks in different population over the six year period. Data has been found for Alaska, Canada, the lower 48 states, and Romania. Only three years data is needed to include Hokkaido, Japan.

Would that be within Kung Fu Panda’s AOR?

Not sure if this helps, but it seems pretty thorough, but it is AI so who knows how accurate it is.

Ammoland had a few articles on bear attacks in Japan.

I have had good (mixed) luck using Google translate on key words to produce a searchable result which, in turn, brings up search engine hits with the option to translate back into English.

I’m always learning stuff on FR.

I never even thought of bears on Hokie-Dokie. I’ve seen features about the monkeys that hang out around hot springs, and about the very non-Japanese-looking Ainu people.

Looks like the bears there are very large brown bears. I wouldn’t think they’d have any natural enemies; so maybe they need some good game management.
