The Ishikari Plain on Hokkaido, where Sapporo is located, was originally inhabited by the Ainu people. However, during the 19th Century what became the city of Sapporo was founded by ethnic Japanese and now the vast majority of residents of the city and the region are ethnic Japanese, with origins similar to the rest of the ethnic Japanese people of Japan. The geographic origins of the ethnic Japanese is still a matter of discussion.
