The Sankebetsu brown bear incident (三毛別羆事件, Sankebetsu higuma jiken),[1] also known as the Rokusensawa bear attack (六線沢熊害事件, Rokusensawa yūgai jiken) or the Tomamae brown bear incident (苫前羆事件, Tomamae higuma jiken),[2] was a series of bear attacks which took place 9-15 December 1915, at the beginning of the Taishō era, in a remote area of Hokkaido, Japan. Over the course of six snowy days, a male Ezo brown bear attacked a number of households, killing seven people and injuring a further three. The incident has been referred to as "the worst animal attack in Japanese history".[3] The attacks ended when the hungry bear, so smart that it started to trick people, was shot dead.[4][5]
