**5. Late Cenozoic tectonic events in northeast Japan**

In this section, Late Cenozoic tectonic events deduced from developments of other fore-arc, intra-arc and back-arc basins across the northeast Japan transects were correlated with those in the Yuda Basin (Figure 13). Based on the results, Late Cenozoic tectonics in northeast Japan was clarified and was divided into seven stages from 0 to VI as described below. Then, the author will discuss the origin of regional tectonic events. The reviews presented herein could provide a revised Late Cenozoic tectonics model in northeast Japan.
