Omura's Whale
Omura's whale or the dwarf fin whale (''Balaenoptera omurai'') is a species of rorqual about which very little is known. Before its formal description, it was referred to as a small, dwarf or pygmy form of Bryde's whale by various sources. The common name and specific epithet commemorate Japanese cetologist . The scientific description of this whale was made in ''Nature'' in 2003 by three Japanese scientists. They determined the existence of the species by analysing the morphology and mitochondrial DNA of nine individuals – eight caught by Japanese research vessels in the late 1970s in the Indo-Pacific and an adult female collected in 1998 from Tsunoshima, an island in the Sea of Japan. Later, abundant genetic evidence confirmed Omura's whale as a valid species and revealed it to be an early offshoot from the rorqual lineage, diverging much earlier than Bryde's and sei whales. It is perhaps more closely related to its larger relative, the blue whale. In the third edition of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ōmura Yoshiaki
was a ruling head of the clan of Ōmura clan, Ōmura throughout the latter Sengoku period of Feudal Japan.

In 1570, Yoshiaki was baptised into Christianity and given the name Dom Sancho. Following Ryūzōji Takanobu's suppression of the Omura in the year of 1580, it can be surmised that Yoshiaki then followed with support beneath the former, at which he would retain the lowly position of vassal up until the Toyotomi clan, Toyotomis' rise to prominence after 1584. Supporting Toyotomi Hideyoshi initially during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–98), Korean campaign of 1592, Yoshiaki's mutual support following this scenario is relatively unknown, but it is recorded that he at least chose to remain as a neutral power by the year 1600, when he declined th ...
