Yes the Minke Whale is an Endangered Species because the Japanese hunt the whales therefore they are endangered
Most of the time, Japanese people take part of the blubber.
Many people, including Eskimo, Inuit, Japanese, and people of other cultures, eat whale.
I believe 'Shachi' is the word for it.
Other names for the finback include fin whale, razorback (historically), herring whale (off Russia), nagasu-kujira (Japanese for "long furrowed whale"), etc.
Especially in the cases of Japanese whalers, all of them. The most popular is the Southern Right Whale, called so because it was the 'Right" whale to hunt.
japanese... also when whales die they go to the sea floor and get eaten by scavengers
The Japanese hunt them for food and use their blubber for candle wax etc.
