While studying Japan's outcast community--the burakumin-- I remember reading about another group, the Sanka. They are an indigenous nomadic tribe, located on Honshu. Interestingly, I found a couple of references within the Anime community. Here are the characters in the name:
山窩
散家
山家
山稼
I can't remember the original text that cited the group but they were described as "Japan's Gypsies."
