English: Tepano (Rapa Nui nobleman), born 1835 (?), died 1915 (?) has been inaccurately identified with Juan Tepano, although this Tepano lived on Tahiti and possessed facial tattoos which were studied by Swedish ethnographer Hjalmar Stolpe in the 1880s during the Vanadis expedition. They were both named after Bishop of Tahiti Tepano Jaussen. There is a book about this Tepano, see Kaeppler, Adrienne Lois & Van Tilburg, Jo Anne (2018[2018]).
