komae, tokyo

Komae (狛江市; -shi) is a city located in Tokyo, Japan. As of 2003, the city has an estimated population of 77,390 and the density of 12,111.11 persons per km². The total area is 6.39 km². It is the smallest city in Tokyo prefecture both in population and area. The city was founded on October 1, 1970. Before the Second World War, it was mainly a farming village. Following the establishment of Komae Station on the Odakyu Line in 1950, the city began to attract urban workers, and now it is essentially a "bedtown" for workers commuting to central Tokyo. Komae is nestled along the Tama River, and in September 1 1970, there were serious floods. Today, the riverbanks have been strengthened. The town has a group of festival mascots called Komarangers; their purpose is to cheer up the citizens of the town. They come in five colors: red, blue, green, yellow, and pink.
