The Japanese have long referred to Manaslu as the "Japanese mountain," whereas the British refer to Everest as the "British mountain."
In 1971, the Japanese expedition made another successful effort. In the same year, a South Korean team attempted and successfully summited Manaslu Peak. According to reports, the second Japanese mission met with fierce opposition from the natives in 1954. The avalanches and pestilence in the valley were blamed on the heathen outsiders.

Until 2002, 175 climbers had reached the summit, following 120 expeditions and 49 deaths.
