The Uchiura Ainu (Japanese: 内浦アイヌ) are a subgroup of the Hokkaido Ainu people, residing near the Uchiura Bay of the Oshima peninsula. The name "Uchiura Ainu" was given by Japanese historian Mineo Kaiho, and the name the Uchiura Ainu gave themselves is unknown. Many of its specific cultural heritages and ways of life were also unclear and in decline early on, due to the Uchiura Ainus' proximity to early Matsumae domains.
