View submission: Media depictions of Ainu culture
Not to expose myself, but there is a section of Genshin Impact at least allegedly inspired by Ainu culture (Tsurumi Island) and also Sitonai, the Ainu hero, does appear in Fate Grand Order, though I can’t speak to how much actual Ainu influence there is in her character beside the name.

Oh no, now I'm gonna have to play Genshin...
As for Fate, from my very loose understanding of Fate lore, Fate Sitonai is kind of a mix of Sitonai, a few other legendary heroes from other cultures, and an OC unrelated to folklore.

Tsurumi Island is inspired by Ainu culture, they even used Ainu (in Latin letters) for some of the achievements tied to the area. One of the areas there is called Moshiri Ceremonial Site
