ok

杜王町 hmmm

Is that on the poster? I can't spot it.

I should have guessed it

nah on the previous picture

Oh okay. I see it there.

morioh city http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Morioh

What's the "cho" at the end mean?

I noticed a few times when characters say the name, they said this "cho" sound at the end.

a town, prefecture, etc

a city

that's the general meaning in japanese

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%94%BA

Ahh okay. So if Paris was a Japanese city, it's be something like Paris-Cho?

hmm not really, it's more precise than that, there's no equivalent in france or in the US

an example : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabukich%C5%8D,_Tokyo

it's a part of shinjuku which is a part of tokyo which is a part of kanto

I guess you already heard of Kabuki...

Had to Google it. Knew of it, didn't know the name.

well if i had to explain it with this example, Kanto is a region of Japan, Tokyo is a big city (an agglomeration of other smaller cities), Shinjuku is a city which is part of Tokyo, and Kabuki chou is a district of that city

something along the lines of NY > NYC > manhattan (if that were a city) > downtown

Thought you meant this. xD I was thinking to myself "What does that have to do with towns / cities / districts."

^

```
The district's name comes from late-1940s plans to build a kabuki theater: although the theater was never built, the name stuck.
```

Reminds me of Houston. Like how Houston isn't actually an actual city, but rather a metropolis made up of several cities.

well then a district of one of the cities that make Houston would be called a "chou" in japanese

The city of Houston that I lived in was Cypress, so Cypress-Cho?

more like, if there's any notable subdivision of cypress actually

like notable neigborhoods that are actually used in the postal address

I think there was a few inside. The one that I can remember was Fairbanks

to follow your example with mine, USA = Japan > TX = Kanto > Houston = Tokyo > Cypress = Shinjuku > a random notable district = Kabuki chou

I hope I was clear ^^"

it's pretty hard to explain better

if manhattan was an actual city, this is a list of of the potential "chou" : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Manhattan_neighborhoods.png/800px-Manhattan_neighborhoods.png

Well, I'd say living in that area helped make it more clear. As most Americans that haven't lived in Houston or NYC just think of them as normal cities instead of something like mini-cities made up into one large one.

So that helped me understand up to the Shinjuku part. And I can someone have an idea of the Kabuki part.

Oh okay, yeah that makes it easier to understand. Fairbanks would have been one of those with Cypress / Shinjuku standing in for Manhatten.

So Fairbanks would stand in for Kabuki.

yes

but in japan Fairbanks would have to be a "proper" town with its own adminitration, etc to be a "chou"

hence why I said that it doesn't exist in the US

do i smell alibaba
