They had Y-chromosome haplogroup D, related to Tibetan and Andamanese.
Bodo languages (one of branches in Sino-Tibetan language family) in Assam has names of body parts similar to Japanese, which looks like traces of that.

They were Chinese warriors who have been sent by their emperor to look for the fountain of youth. They were told not to come back until they find it.

Nubians, they created a war junk out of scrap wood and went sailing, they fell asleep and woke up in Japan, a giant koi Karp told them to push it back out to sea
The giant koi then guarded the Great War junk until it was slain by the Chinese who then stole the design
This is why old Egyptian and Chinese shops look so similar

There were several Japanese noble clans that WE WUZ'd as Chinese, utilizing Xu Fu's Voyage for the Immortal Elixir myth.
The Hata and Chosokabe Clans in particular. The myth is their ancestors were under orders to find the elixir but failed to, so they stayed in Japan instead and helped build civilization as opposed to going home to a very angry Qin Shi Huang.

They were remnants of civilization that was flooded in Younger Drayas.
You know that are the ruins of some ancient cities under sea on the Japan coast?
An they were flooded like 12000 years ago.

Holy shit that's the exact time the Atlantis was rumored to have sunk. Coincidence? I think not!

The first settlers into Japan consisted of Siberian caucasoid (not only but also Ainu) and southeast asian tribes people. These were largely seperate groups for a long time, until got mixed and then genetically enriched by increasing numbers of Korean and Chinese immigrants. So Japanese ethnicity was a lot more caucasoid for quite a while

>Siberian caucasoid (not only but also Ainu)
Caucasoid Ainu is just a shitty old meme.
Ainu and Jomon Japanese are Palaeo-Mongoloids genetically far from Caucasoids actually.
They are branched out from common ancestors of East Asians before they got Mongolic feature and preserved in the islands.

16000yrs ago ~ Jomon tribe arrived Japan (stone age)
5500yrs ago ~ People from around Yangtze River China started moving to the east
2300yrs ago ~ Those people arrived Japan through Korean peninsula.
Latest study shows like that.

The earliest Japanese the Chinese encountered claimed to be descent from Shao Kang and Wu Taibo.
Qin/Han/Cao Wei Emperors were the most popular ancestors and Warring States polities was a close second. Some immigrant clans did claim to have humble origins.
Purported Chinese ancestry seems to have fallen out of favor during the Heian period.
