Tokyo's prefecture (東京, Tōkyō) is a location from the Valis series in the Human world.

Description

Tokyo is a city in the real world and Japan's capital. It's Yuuko's hometown for the majority of the series, and because of this is also the target of invasion of the main antagonists of the series, who are searching for her or for the Valis sword.

Sub-locations

Tokyo's town

The town area that surrounds the main city area. It's less urbanized and contains many houses. It's the location of Yuuko's house and school, as well as a sewer area.

Tokyo's city

The main city area. Here is where the Dark world's invaders concentrate in most cases. In this area are located the train station and another sewer area. To the north bay is also the Crystal Pillar where Galgear rested until Valis IV.

Appearances

Tokyo's prefecture appeared in all Valis games except for Super Valis IV. In Valis I's first versions (MSX, PC-88/98, FM-77 and Sharp X1) the town area represents the first stage while the city area represents the second one (except for the MSX), but in the MD/Genesis and PCE-CD versions, the town stage is absent and the city stage is the only one that takes place in Tokyo, and thus the first. In Valis II and III, it remains as the first stage in all versions. In Valis IV It appears as the fifth stage only in the PCE-CD version, being absent in Super Valis IV.
