That's the only picture I could find of someone that claims to be Ainu. I've seen others that don't look asian at all.

Try this one. I can't post it because it's copyrighted:

Realize that there are very few full-blooded Ainu left. They are vanishing through interbreeding with Japanese. Consider how few full-blooded African blacks remain in the U.S. or South America, and how often they exhibit mixed-race physical features.

The web site where you found the images of the Count and the Tocharians is...um...interesting. Given its rather obvious bias I'm inclined to give its objectivity a lot of Kentucky windage. But even it agrees with my point that the Ainu are called "hairy" only in contrast to the rather hairless Japanese.

Yeah, I just use their pictures.

Good picture, thanks. Pictures are hard to find.
