Inō Kanori

Inō Kanori (伊能 嘉矩, 11 June 1867 – 30 September 1925) was a Japanese anthropologist and folklorist known for his studies in Taiwanese indigenous peoples. Inō was the first person who classified the aboriginal tribes into several groups, instead of the traditional classification, dating back to the period of Qing rule and earlier, which imprecisely recognized these aborigines only as "cooked/domesticated" (熟蕃, jukuban) or "raw/wild" (生蕃, seiban).
