Bikki Sunazawa (also Bikky Sunazawa, Hisao Sunazawa) (砂澤ビッキ) (March 6, 1931 — January 25, 1989) was a Japanese self-taught woodcarver, painter, and sculptor of Ainu origin. Sunazawa is respected for helping make the Ainu culture known to the world through his works performed in the Ainu manner. Sunazawa is also known for designing the Ainu flag in 1971. His son Oki, an Ainu Japanese musician, applies the same approach to music.
