- 1東京
The capital of Japan and its centre for money and business — one of the biggest, busiest cities in the world, with over 13 million people in the city itself and far more in the wider area. As a proper noun it always takes a capital T and no 'the'. Note that in English 'Tokyo' is two , TOH-kyo, and the are long in Japanese but English speakers usually them. Like other capital cities, its name is often used to mean the government: "Tokyo has refused to comment" means the Japanese government has. Also used before other nouns — Tokyo Station, the Tokyo Olympics, a Tokyo accent.
組成From Japanese 東京 (Tōkyō), literally 'eastern capital' — 東 east + 京 capital. It was named this because the emperor moved there from Kyoto, which lies to the west. Taiwanese students already know both characters, so the name is transparent in Chinese in a way it isn't in English.
