Taiwanese aborigines
Japanese ethnographer Ino Kanori was charged with the task of surveying the entire population of Taiwanese aborigines, applying the first systematic study of aborigines on Taiwan. Ino's research is best known for his formalization of eight peoples of Taiwanese aborigines: Atayal, Bunun, Saisiat, Tsou, Paiwan, Puyuma, Ami and "Pepo" (Pingpu). This is the direct antecedent of the taxonomy used today to distinguish people groups that are officially recognized by the government.
