1) Frior to the Meiji Era (1868-1912) no live tapir was impoated into Japan.
2) A pair of Malay tapir brought over to Osaka in the spring of 1903 were presumably the first live examples in this country.
3) During the Taishô (1912-1926) and Shôwa Era (1926-) the Malay tapirs were imported from time to time while no American tapirs were brought till the spring of 1933.
4) Before the Pacific War the live stock of tapirs became extirpated and we have no tapirs in the Japanese zoo since 1941.
