Kabukichō is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“The opening scene was done at Yasukuni-dōri in Kabuki-chō.”
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.
- Lost in Translation 2003

Enter the Void
2009
“I think the energy has to come on the set at the very last minute." Locations were used in Kabukichō and other parts of Shinjuku.” Wikipedia
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.
