The Sankebetsu brown bear incident (三毛別羆事件, Sankebetsu higuma jiken), also known as the Rokusensawa bear attack (六線沢熊害事件, Rokusensawa yūgai jiken) or the Tomamae brown bear incident (苫前羆事件, Tomamae higuma jiken), was a series of bear attacks which took place 9-15 December 1915, in Hokkaidō, Japan. Over the course of six days, an Ussuri brown bear attacked a number of households, killing nine people and injuring a further three. The incident has been referred to as "the worst animal attack in Japanese history". The attacks ended when the bear was shot dead.
