 Welcome to Tokushima City
Tokushima City, capital of Tokushima Prefecture, has a population of about 260,000. The city is in northern Tokushima Prefecture where the Yoshino River and its tributaries create a delta.
Under the rule of the fourteen generations of Hachisuka family, Tokushima prospered as an administrative and economic center.
Recently, even higher expectations have been placed on Tokushima City, due to its location as the intersection of the Kobe-Naruto Route and Shikoku Highway. At present Tokushima City is continuing to develop modern industries and to prepare the urban areas for the information-oriented age.

 J League Teams: Tokushima Vortis
An internet search for "Vortis Tokushima" would turn up dozens of web sites whereas "Otsuka Pharmaceutical FC" provided practically none, since the official team site was the only one to use this name.
The company soon realised that regardless of what THEY wanted to call the team, they were stuck with the name "Vortis Tokushima", like it or not.
Certainly it is encouraging to see this example of how the direction of football culture in Japan is being determined by the fans, and not by corporate clods in the head office.

 HRG Tokushima: Molecular and Cellular Characterization of Histidine-Rich Glycoprotein (HRG) Deficiency -- Shigekiyo et ...
From the First Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, The University of Tokushima, Tokushima; Department of Life Science, Faculty of Science, Himeji Institute of Technology, Hyogo, Japan; and Department of Biochemistry, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
To elucidate if the mutation in HRG Tokushima is responsible for the secretion defect of the mutant protein in the proband, we performed pulse-chase experiments of Tokushima-type HRG using transiently transfected BHK cells, and compared the results with those obtained for wild-type HRG.
Both wild-type and Tokushima-type HRG were detected as a band of 62 kD (Fig 3, left arrowhead) and 72 kD (right arrowhead) in the cell extracts and culture medium, respectively, and they were synthesized at nearly equal levels in BHK cells as detected in cell extracts at time 0 of the chase.

The award to Shuji Nakamura, a professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara who developed the blue light-emitting diode while working at Nichia, is the largest ever in Japan for the transfer of patent rights.
Presiding Judge Ryoichi Mimura concluded that the Anan, Tokushima Prefecture-based firm had earned 120.8 billion yen in royalties for the patent.
Nakamura contributed at least 50 percent to the patent earnings and is therefore entitled to 60.4 billion yen from his employer, the judge said.
