Official site

Osaka is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 20 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. 10 video games and 1 anime are also set here.

5 productions were filmed at 34 places inside Osaka rather than at Osaka itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“Filming locations were in Tokyo (Adachi, Chūō, Taitō and Chiyoda), Onomichi, Atami and Osaka.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Osaka 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 Osaka

5 productions shot at 34 places inside Osaka, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Osaka itself.

Set here

Video games and Anime that take place here. None of them is filmed anywhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Osaka, 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.
