Tokyo (東京), known as Edo (江戸) during the Tokugawa shogunate, is the capital city and most populous prefecture of Japan. It is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, the home of the Japanese Imperial Family, and the Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. In the Edo period, it was the capital of the Tokugawa shogunate.[1] After the Boshin War, the Kyoto Imperial Court relocated to Edo and rechristened the city as Tokyo.
History
On 31 December 2013, Gavin and his crew traveled to Tokyo with Saeko and Kiyoshi to gather supplies for their next mission. As the rest of his team occupied themselves across the city, Gavin ran across the rooftops of Tokyo to deal with his stress, and watched as fireworks went off at midnight to celebrate the New Year on 1 January 2014 in Tokyo with the Osaka-based cell of Japanese Assassins.[2]
On 28 July 2017, the Assassin Tomo Sakagawa worked in an arcade in the Shinjuku neighborhood of Takadanobaba. He later called his superior Hajime Shimada, stating that he had tracked down the Templar Maxime Gorm and mentioned a clinic in Switzerland run by a Dr. Nathalie Chapman. Hajime told him to come and talk at his shop. The next morning, Tomo arrived at the shop in the Akihabara district. They discussed Maxime and Dr. Chapman, while Tomo formulated a plan to infiltrate the clinic.[3]
In early 2020, the Abstergo facility in Tokyo was breached by the Assassins Layla Hassan, Shaun Hastings, Rebecca Crane, and Kiyoshi Takakura, who sought to extract an Assassin informant, Dr. Kazui. During their infiltration, the Assassins discovered Abstergo's experimentation with a Staff of Eden and destroyed Kazui's DNA from Abstergo's archives to prevent the Templars from exploring his genetic memories. When Juhani Otso Berg arrived to confront them, the Assassins managed to defeat him and escaped the facility.[4]
