		The -ken suffix was never added to its name, so the -dō suffix became understood to mean "prefecture." When Hokkaido was incorporated, transportation on the island was still very underdeveloped, so the prefecture was split into several "sub-prefectures" (支庁 shichō) that could fulfill administrative duties of the prefectural government.
		These sub-prefectures are the main difference between Hokkaidō and the other ken, but they are only a consequence of Hokkaidō's enormous size, not its designation.
		The government of the prefecture calls itself the "Hokkaido Government" rather than the "Hokkaido Prefectural Government." Today, Hokkaido is the least populated of the four main Japanese islands.
