Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Kabukichō as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Kabukichō

1 production shot at 2 places inside Kabukichō, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Kabukichō itself.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Kabukichō, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.

Drawn from this place

Manga whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Kabukichō as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
