Yokohama (ヨコハマ, Yokohama?), occasionally referred to as the Yokohama Settlement[1][2] or the city of Yokohama[3][4] (横浜租界, Yokohama So-kai?, lit. "Yokohama concession"), is a city in the Kantō region and is considered as Japan's most prominent port city.[5] It is the primary setting of the Bungo Stray Dogs series and its related media.
Description[]
It is a port city with a mixture of modern buildings and nostalgic buildings, but since the end of the war, allied-affiliated warlords have flown in and have built up an autonomous region by shaking extraterritorial powers. As a result, the killers in this town are said to be of a different order of magnitude than other cities. There are various dark organizations and foreign illegal capital, with the Port Mafia being said to take root in all parts of the town's politics and economy.
It is also said that a "book" has been sealed somewhere in the city.
Trivia[]
- Although the real Yokohama's name is written in kanji (横浜), the series refers to it in katakana (ヨコハマ).
- Yokohama is implicitly referred to as the "town where the wind blows" (風が吹く街, kaze ga fuku machi?), which has been referenced throughout the series.
