Exploding Boy, are you a native Japanese speaker? The definition of Edokko is NOT just being native to Tokyo. This is merely a derivative meaning. Your definition does not convey the meaning of the word. You need to justify why you think the primary meaning of Edokko is Tokyoite. Yuji
For the sake of clarity, please give your primary meaning (meanings). (Asking the editor above.) Hafenstadt
I believe the above disagreement is resolved, as the article has been modified (and slightly improved) by others. Yuji 08:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
This note is refereing to the edit by Exploding Boy. See the history. The primary meaning of Edokko is being native to Edo, not Tokyo. These are geographically (almost) the same, but quite different in terms of culture. Yuji 06:52, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I still don't get the whole picture. Edokko doesn't exist, today? Hafenstadt
In the most strict sense, Edokko doesn't exist today, because Edo has dissappeared. It's like saying "I'm native to Lutetia (the old name for Paris)." If you count today's Tokyo as a kind of Edo, Edokko does exist. After all, it's a self-proclaimed title. Yuji 14:32, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your definition. Take care. Hafenstadt
