## Synopsis

In the town of Barato, the barber Yamamoto sees Tanigaki with Inkarmat and asks him why he is pretending to be an Ainu. They tell him that they are looking for an Ainu girl with three men and asks if he's seen them. He sees an Ainu kid peering inside and asks if it is the one. Tanigaki opens the door to see Cikapasi attempting to flee. He says he knew that Cikapasi was following them and tells him to go back to the kotan, but Cikapasi says his whole family is dead and begs Tanigaki to let him come along. Inkarmat thinks its a good idea since her kamuy is saying that it will bring good fortune and that they should pose as a family to appear less suspicious. Cikapasi is gleeful and begins to fantasize about their role, which Tanigaki refutes every one of them.

Back at the Ainu kotan, Sugimoto is concerned about the bear cage but the Ainu man says that the cub grew up too fast and that they will build a new cage to move it over. He introduces himself as Ekurok and says that his father Retanno Ekasi is the leader of the village and that they should ask him for permission to stay. He leads them to his father's home where Sugimoto lectures Ushiyama and Ogata the customs on how to enter an Ainu house. After some cleaning, a young man comes and leads the party inside, holding hands. Inside, an elderly man greets them and Sugimoto tells Ushiyama and Ogata to imitate him before Asirpa says something to the old man, which surprises everyone. Ekurok asks why they have an Ainu girl with them and Sugimoto lies, saying that she is their guide so they can stay at Ainu villages as they travel. Ekurok begins to introduces his family, but is interrupted by Asirpa saying that she needs to poop. Sugimoto apologizes for her behavior and Ekurok says not to worry about it before sending his brother to help her find the toilet.

Asirpa heads to the bear cage and sees that it has been fed poorly before being grabbed by a shadowed man. Back inside the home, Ogata asks about what Asirpa said and what it means, however the men just looks at them grimly to which Ogata responds if they do not know the meaning. In another home, Asirpa is bound and gagged by Ekurok's brother as the both of them are approached by Kumagishi who asks why she is here. Ekurok's brother asks Kumagishi to keep an eye on Asirpa who was able to free her mouth open from the bandanna and asks why they all are pretending to be Ainu.

Siege of Port Arthur

The **Siege of Port Arthur** was an important event that took place in Golden Kamuy during Russo-Japanese War.

## History

Considering each other's rivals in territorial expansion through Far East Asia, war broke out between the Russian Empire and the Empire of Japan a little after the turn of the 20th century. The Russo-Japanese War, which lasted between 1904 and 1905, was a conflagration fought across two stages: land and sea.

On the seas, the Japanese navy scored a spectacular victory against their Russian counterparts. The Russian Empire ordered the bulk of its Atlantic fleet to the Asian Far East, traveling all the way over the tip of Africa to reach the Sea of Japan. These Russian ships were then unceremoniously annihilated by their Japanese opponents at the Battle of Tsushima. This loss, combined with the earlier destruction of its remaining Pacific Fleet Power in Port Arthur, put the Russian navy out of commission. The Japanese success in this battle cemented victory in their war with the Russians, while demonstrating to skeptical Western observers that Japan was a force to be reckoned with.

Over land, the Japanese army's successes were fewer and far bloodier. The technology and tactics of modern warfare that heralded the carnage of The Great War in the Battle of Cold Harbor during the American Civil War would resurface again before World War I in the Japanese Siege of Port Arthur. Machine guns, hand grenades, trenches, and artillery bombardments combined to turn the battlefield into a human meatgrinder. The defending Russians would lose over 30,000 soldiers in the year-plus campaign, and the Japanese would shed nearly twice that number in manpower. The Battle of 203 Hill alone cost the Japanese over 8,000 men, ravaging the ranks of the Japanese army's 7th Division.

The Imperial Japanese victories in the Tsushima Straits, Port Arthur, and others, costly or otherwise, convinced the Russian Empire to seek peace. With American President Theodore Roosevelt presiding as a broker, these peace talks resulted in the Treaty of Portsmouth.

Even with its victories, the Japanese were stretched thin in capital and soldiers by the end of the war, and continued fighting would drain the empire of ever more precious treasure and manpower

## Battle of 203 Meter Hill

### White Sash Brigade

The **White Sash Brigade** (白襷隊, *Shiro Dasuki-tai)* was a special force made up of 3000 Japanese military soldiers assembled to make a night assault. The soldiers wore white sashes in order to see each other in the dark and staged a suicidal assault on the Russian position, with most of the men killed in a single night. However, the ferociousness of the White Sash Brigade planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of the Russian troops that contributed to their eventual surrender.

Saichi Sugimoto is a survivor of the White Sash Brigade.

Fukagawa

*This article is a stub. You can help Golden Kamuy Wikia by expanding it.*

**Fukagawa** is a village in Hokkaido, Japan.

## Overview

Fukagawa is located 25 kilometers away from Asahikawa. The 7th Division stopped by Fukagawa on their way back to their headquarter in Asahikawa. Yoshitake Shiraishi who had been taken as prisoner by the 7th Division met Toshizou Hijikata who was in disguise as a food merchant and passed Shiraishi a message to prepare to be rescued at the "kamuy kotan".

After failing to rescue Shiraishi from the 7th Division, Sugimoto's Group and Hijikata's Group gathered in Fukagawa where they deliberate over what to do with Shiraishi. They almost unanimously decide to leave him to his fate in Asahikawa but Sugimoto refuses, saying that he wants to save Shiraishi. He then suggests that they should make use of Kiyohiro Suzukawa's con artist skills to do so.

Story
Gallery

* Anime

**Inkarmat** (インカㇻマッ) is a mysterious Ainu fortune-teller who meets Asirpa during her travels. She claims to know something important about Asirpa and her father.

Inkarmat is a sly and cunning woman who often uses people's perceptions against them. Using quick deduction and her spiritual knowledge she is able to make 'predictions'. She is assertive and confident, comfortable with using her looks and spiritual prowess to get what she wants. She enjoys fortune telling, and may even find it to be a source of comfort, as she drops the jawbone many times before the Abashiri Prison break to reassure herself of the fate of Asirpa's father. She enjoys using fortune-telling as a source of income, since she can easily swindle people out of their money and have enough left over to spend it on lavish things for herself, and later on, for Tanigaki and Cikapasi.

Though her methods may seem outlandish or deceitful, Inkarmat cares deeply about the fate of the Ainu people. She also wants to make sure that Asirpa is well taken care of. Despite being somewhat self-serving, she has also shown fierce loyalty to those few she has attached herself to.

* Inkarmat likes rabbit meat but dislikes dogs.
* In 2018 Golden Kamuy All-Stars popularity poll, Inkarmat ranked 20th, gaining 2,241 votes.

As they waited for him to arrive, Yuki asked what kind of person the officer was and Nakayama replied that he is quite a clever fellow with proficiency in the Russian language, making him the only person suitable for the job.

As Heiji wondered if there were any men in the Navy who could speak Russian, the back door suddenly opened as First Lieutenant Tsurumi introduced himself and suggested that they close all of their curtains so as not to prevent any leaks about saving Otonoshin. Together the four of them discuss how to rescue Otonoshin and Yuki wonders if the kidnappers are after money but Tsurumi says that if the kidnappers wanted a child from a rich family, there are plenty of them to choose from in Hakodate.

Tsurumi believes that Russia is involved in the kidnapping and that they wish to disarm Fort Hakodate and the Ominato Torpedo Division which Heiji is in charge of. Heiji and Tsurumi heads out to the Russian consulate to investigate and upon returning to the Koito residence, laid out a map of possible phone owners within close range of the consulate.

## Trail of Blood

**Trail of Blood**, or **Bloodstains** (血痕, *Kekkon*) is the 189th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Several minutes before Sugimoto and Asirpa had reunited, Tsukishima, Koito, and Svetlana finds an injured Tanigaki lying on the ground and he tells them that it was Kiroranke who had wounded him. Tsukishima says to him not to get up as they will handle the rest and Koito notices a trail of blood on the snowy ground. Tanigaki informs them that Kiroranke had also been injured and Koito tells Tsukishima to come with him while Svetlana stay with Tanigaki.

As they search for Kiroranke, they find Tanigaki's rifle on the ground and Koito picks it up while Tsukishima notes that the trail of blood continues on. Koito sees some strings attached to the gun and Tsukishima pulls Koito down in time to avoid being killed by Kiroranke's explosive booby trap, which was heard all over the region. Koito is slightly hurt but manages to recover before checking on Tsukishima to find that his neck had been heavily damaged.

Despite his own injury, Tsukishima asks Koito if he is injured as well but Koito can only respond with anger by searching for Kiroranke by himself as Tsukishima pleads him not to go alone. Koito continues to follow the trail of blood and finds that it has stopped. He cannot find any footprints either and wonders if Kiroranke had fallen into the ocean. Meanwhile, Kiroranke silently approaches him with his rifle drawn and aimed at Koito. The two men are alarmed by a seal that had emerged from the water behind them and Koito notices Kiroranke in time to deflect his shot.

Koito lunges angrily at Kiroranke with his saber but Kiroranke blocks it with his rifle and punches Koito who responds back with a punch of his own. Kiroranke tackles Koito to the ground, takes out his knife and attempts to stab Koito. Koito tries to stop it with his right arm, but the knife still plunges into his chest as he screams at Kiroranke for hurting his men. He then takes out the knife that Tanigaki had inserted into Kiroranke's torso and stabs it into Kiroranke's neck.

During the 4th year of Keiou (the 1st year of Meiji), after the Shinsengumi had fought in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi and were scattered, they attempted to regroup in Edo.
