Ogawa Masahito has been described as the leading scholar in modern [[Ainu]] studies today. His most famous work deals with the ''[[iyomante]]'' bear-spirit-sending ritual.
Ogawa builds upon the work of Sasaki Toshikazu, Kikuchi Isao, and others, to further efforts to write an Ainu-centered (rather than Japan-centered) scholarship on the Ainu. He attempts to construct a narrative of Ainu history that is not limited to discussions of assimilation and resistance.
