	Columns -- Tokyo, Now and Then --- by Douglas Sanderson
		Difficult though it may be to believe, the dreamland of sexual proclivities known as Kabukicho owes its origins to a single man. His name was Suzuki, and at the end of the Second World War a dream took hold of him.
		Long-time patrons to Kabukicho began referring to the incident as ‘the St. Valentines day massacre,’ a number of signs came down, the street walkers took the night off, and then everything returned to normal.
		Kabukicho is seen by some as an escape from life’s problems, and seen by others as the source of those problems.

	Kabukicho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kabukicho is the location of many hostess bars, host bars, love hotels, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs, and is often called the "Sleepless Town" (眠らない街).
		Kabukicho was quickly redeveloped after the war, mainly due to the efforts of the overseas Chinese in Japan who bought land left unused after the expos and greatly developed them.
		Kabukicho is often considered to be a dangerous or otherwise unseemly area; however, there is little reason for visitors to be concerned for their physical safety.

	Global competition hits Japan hard in many places
		The area is Kabukicho, Japan's largest "entertainment zone," as it is politely called, and these days it is a reflection of Japan's troubles in competing with China and other Asian countries.
		It is the thousands of gangsters and prostitutes clustered in Kabukicho who have become notorious throughout Japan, inflaming anxieties and hostilities toward Chinese.
		Originally Kabukicho was a purely Japanese-run area, but in the 1980s, Taiwanese steadily took over the bars and clubs in the area and began to bring in young women from China to work as "hostesses." The Chinese invasion picked up speed in the 1990s, and Taiwanese or Chinese establishments replaced Japanese businesses.

	pekopeko103: On Shinjuku and Kabukicho (first impressions)
		We walked to the nearby Kabukicho (歌舞伎町), which is one of Tokyo's (many?) red-light districts.
		We walked around a few more of Kabukicho's narrow alleys, and it was kind of scary when we had to walk past a bunch of tough-looking, puffy-jacket wearing tough-guys (probably chinpira, or lower level yakuza, gangsters), who were smoking and standing around a bright yellow car with the words "STRIP MOBILE" emblazoned on the side.
		I didn't take many photos in Kabukicho, firstly due to the nature of the area (just like you wouldn't walk around Kings Cross snapping away with a camera); and secondly, just because it's not that interesting.
