The Anufo or Chakosi are an Akan people who live in the Dapaong and (Sansanné-)Mango areas of Togo, as well as in Ghana.^[1] They trace their origin to a place called Anou or Ano on the Komoé River in the Ivory Coast.^[1]^[2] Thus, they refer to themselves Anoufou "people of Anu".^[1] The exonym Chakosi has also been spelled 'Chokossi', 'Chakossi', 'Kyokosi', 'Kyokoshi', 'Tschokossi', and 'Tyokossi'.^[1] They migrated to their present location in the late 18th century.^[1] The Anufo had their own kingdom based in Sansanné-Mango, prior to German colonization of Togo.^[1] As of 2003 they had a combined population of 137,600. They speak the Anufo language, one of the Akan languages.
