Kanagawa Prefecture

Kanagawa Prefecture (神奈川県) is a prefecture of the island archipelago nation of Japan. It is located in the southern Kantō region on the island of Honshu and is considered part of the greater Tokyo area. A relatively small prefecture, it is located at the southeastern corner of the Kantō Plain, wedged between Tokyo on the north, the foothills of Mount Fuji on the northwest, and the Sagami Bay and Tokyo Bay on the south and east. It's capital city is Yokohama.

Like most major population centers in Japan, Kanagawa Prefecture does not fall short when it comes to random attacks from giant monsters. In 1975 the city of Yokosuka was devastated in a three-way conflict between the king of the monsters, Godzilla, a mutated dinosaur dubbed Titanosaurus and the robot known as Mechagodzilla. The fight was perpetuated by an evil made scientist named Shinzô Mafune, who was a nihilist who wanted nothing more than the total destruction of the entire world. To this end, he used his resources to gain control over Titanosaurus and Mechagodzilla and pitted them against Godzilla. Of the three, Titanosaurus did the most damage to Kanagawa Prefecture, generating destructive wind currents with the snapping fins on his tail. Mechagodzilla also razed an entire city block with several of his ocular blasts, leaving dozens of buildings in flames.
