All you ever hear of the city of Kasukabe, which is where the family of Sin Chan, the Nohara.

This city is about 30 kilometers from Tokyo in Saitama prefecture has a total of 204,000 inhabitants.

In the Edo craftsmen who helped build the temple of Nikko Toshogu, settled in what is now Kasukabe.

During the postwar settled a major population center around the roads on their way to the city of Niko. This route was one of the most commercially important during the postwar period, what I attract many families.

In 1954 these settlements were officially as the city of Kasukabe. Since its inception it has grown constantly and in 2005 absorbed the town of Showa and currently has a foreign population of 1,700 people.

But Kasukabe is not only known in Japan as the home of Shinnosuke, is also very popular for the quality of their wood furniture made from Kiri Tree or Empress Tree.

The wood of this tree is highly prized because it is very light, fine-grained, soft, and resilient.

But the city of Kasukabe owes its international fame Shinnosuke Nohara certainly so in the 50 th anniversary of the designation as a city of Kasukabe, the council decided to grant the certificate of residence.

Not the first time, however, that a fictional character gets the permit, and also was awarded to Astroboy in the city of Niiza, also in Saitama
