Yes, arguably, they were one of the earliest threat to Yamato domination of the entire Japanese Archipelago during the early years. There is a famous battle known as -- 三十八年戦争-- or the Thirty Eight Year War. It was a war that saw the most astonishing defeat of the Imperial Army. In fact there is the famous Battle of Koromo River, which took place around 789 AD, when the Imperial Army was soundly defeated , sending panic throughout the country, the emishi general named 阿弖流爲 or -- Aterui and his Army raised many parts of the country. Eventually, however, the emishi were 'tamed', gradual assimilation was seen through land policies. In fact, some Japanese anthropologists would claim that the emishi or the Jomon were not eradicated by the Yamato people, rather, they fused with the Yamato in Honshu. Yamato bred with them , literally breeding them into our own.
Thks for the writeup buddy, it goes to show that great nations are not build by mythical "pure breed", but by the amalgamation of different people but with single belief of great nationhood.
