Explanation:

The dispute as a result of the Kuril Islands is known as the Northern Territories dispute in Japan. It is a dispute over the ownership and sovereignty of four islands between Russia and Japan, plus some Ainu people. The Kuril islands stretch between Hokkaido, a Japanese island located at the Southern end and the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia located at the extreme Northern end.
