About Chiba
The name "Chiba" may sound sexy to fans of martial artist Sonny Chiba (who actually hails fromFukuoka) or William Gibson's science fiction novels, since the "Tokyo-Chiba urban sprawl" is where much ofNeuromancer(ISBN 0441569595) is set. Chiba is also where the animeOre no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai(俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない, lit. My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute) takes place, and you can see the Chiba Urban Monorail in the opening of the anime. Alas, Gibson's dystopian cyberpunk visions are difficult to correlate with the reality of modern-day Chiba, which is mostly an unremarkable suburban city notably lacking in "techno-criminal subcultures". Still, the area still makes a reasonably interesting day trip from Tokyo if you have time to spare and prefer high technology toys over moul
