Talk:Kantō region

Can we split the Pokemon use into Kanto (Pok&eacute;mon) please?! (I'll even do it for ya :P) -- EmperorBMA|&#35441;&#12377; 12:26, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm all for it Fg2 12:44, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

Good enough for me. -- EmperorBMA|&#35441;&#12377; 12:52, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Which barrier?
I agree that from the Edo onward, Kanto is the region east of the Hakone checkpoint. My question is about earlier periods. The Japanese article lists the Fuwa barrier as the dividing point in the Heian. Also, the Japanese article on Usui T&#333;ge mentions the Sakamoto barrier. The reason I looked in that article is that I thought there was something called the Usui Checkpoint. Does anyone have specifics? Fg2 06:01, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)


 * I've recently done quite a bit of research into this and some of the facts can be found at Kansai region. You may also want to take a look at http://www.bookrags.com/Kansai which I plan to incorporate as soon as I have some more time. -- Exitmoose 08:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

"Watershed moment"?
Doesn't the term "watershed moment" imply that things were tending in one direction but then suddenly reversed course? How is the Great Kanto Earthquake a watershed moment under that definition. Wouldn't a term like "crisis" or "trying time" or some such be better suited? -- Exitmoose 08:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Question
I'm wondering why Kanto Plain redirects to the Kanto Region article. Anyone know? "Kanto Region" is a geo-political designation, while "Kanto Plain" seems to me to be a geo-topographical designation. In this situation, there are overlaps, I realize, but I think the difference is still worth noting. RNavigator (talk) 16:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Since there is no article on the Kanto Plain (yet), redirecting it to this article is the most sensible thing to do. Or do you have a better suggestion..? -- ざくら 木 16:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Region should be capitalized
Region should be capitalized because its a title of a place. All words that are four or more letters long should be captialized in a title except three letter or less wors like the or of unless The is at the beginning.

That's why the title of our country is The United Stated of America. Yami (talk) 02:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hard to read
The "Kantō Region data" box is right over some text. Someone fix this! ☠ QuackOfaThousandSuns (Talk''') ☠ 01:03, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Never mind, it's okay. It would just be nice if it was moved down a little bit, so people don't get confused. ☠ QuackOfaThousandSuns (Talk''') ☠ 01:05, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

In Popular Culture
Can we please delete the "in popular culture" section of this page? As its stands, it is just as list of anime which are set in this area. The vast majority of anime and other modern day Japanese serials take place in this region, that doesn't mean we have to list all of them here.DeliciousMeatz (talk) 03:36, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Contradictory population
Kantō region article lists a population of 42,607,376 while Greater Tokyo Area, which includes all of Kantō region plus another prefecture, just lists 37,883,000 inhabitants. The part can't contain more inhabitants that the whole. Something should be checked and fixed, or at least it should be explained better.--Pere prlpz (talk) 11:02, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

"Second largest sub-national economy"
The first paragraph states that "Kanto is the second largest sub-national economy in the world." But there is no source listed, and the internal link goes to a list of country subdivisions by GDP, which gives the Tokyo prefecture (instead of Kanto), and puts it in 9th place (instead of second). What's going on? (I'd love to see the true list of sub-national economies, if one exists!)
