Satoru Noda’s Golden Kamuy is a hit Japanese manga that was adapted into an anime series of the same title. It features Ainu-Polish history motifs as well as Ainu-Polish descendant fictional characters. They are not, however, completely unrelated to real-life persona. Similarities to Bronisław Piłsudski’s life and legacy, his Ainu family and ethnographic discoveries are very telling for how important a role he played in documenting Ainu language and culture, as well as collecting their daily-used tools and utensils for later use at museums. The article discusses Golden Kamuy in relation to Piłsudski’s biography and Ainu research, while drawing a line between animated fiction and real-life occurrences. For Piłsudski’s life and work to have been a part of a popular Japanese series over 100 years after his death, it can be seen not only as a tribute to his life and work but also a chance for Polish academia to become more inclusive and present in popular media.
