The Japanese sea lion (Zalophus californianus japonicus) was common in the past around the coast of the Japanese Archipelago, but declined rapidly after 1930's from overhunting and increased competition with commercial fisheries. The last record in Japan was a juvenile, captured in 1974 at off the coast of Rebun Island, northern Hokkaido.
