The Jomon, and their distinctive teeth, are quite obviously ancestral to the Ainu (in part) and Emishi, and both of those groups are pretty well mixed into the Japanese general population (if the 40% with Ainu tooth types can be counted as "mised").

One of the little quirks in Japanese anthropological studies has been the indifference of so many researchers to the existence of the Emishi.

They weren't just literary devices of early story tellers. No doubt they and the Ainu are of the same ancestry as the Jomon, but the Emishi had advanced culturally to the same degree as the Yayoi and Korean invaders.
