Kitakyushu

Kitakyushu (北九州市 Kitakyūshū-shi, lit. "North Kyushu") is a city located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan.

As of April 1, 2014, the city has an estimated population of 963,267 and a total area of 489.60 km². The average population density is thus 1,967 persons per km². It is now the country's 15th most populated city.

The city of Kitakyushu was founded on February 10, 1963 and was designated on April 1, 1963 by government ordinance. The city was born from the merger of five municipalities (Moji, Kokura, Tobata, Yahata and Wakamatsu) centered around the ancient feudal city of Kokura.

Kokura Castle (小倉城 Kokura-jō) was built by Hosokawa Tadaoki in 1602. It was the property of the Ogasawara clan (from Harima) between 1632 and 1860. The castle was burnt down in 1865 in the war between the Kokura and Choshu clans. The city's symbol mark is a flower with the character "north" (北 kita) in the middle and five petals representing the five towns which merged.

Nippon Steel Corporation is still a major employer but the Yahata and Tobata plants are much reduced from the heyday of the 1960s. The Zenrin company known for its mapping and navigation software is based here, and so is Toto and Yaskawa Electric. StarFlyer, an airline, is headquartered on the grounds of Kitakyushu Airport.
