The Toshima Ward (豊島区 Toshima-ku) is a real part of Tokyo, one of the 23 special wards the city comprises of. It's composed of four major areas divided into 27 districts, with a population of 298,250 (2015).
It is the place where Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori live in the Manga of Magic Kaito[1][2], the setting of Wait For Me, the location of the school of Keisuke Hara in The Santa Claus of Summer and a past residence of Gosho Aoyama himself.[3] It also seemed to serve as a model for some surroundings in late Yaiba and early Detective Conan, with what appears to be the Sunshine 60 Building appearing in its background several times and the PARCO Store featuring prominently in the latter.
