Katsushika (Katsushika-ku in Japanese, known in English as Katsushika City) is one of the special wards of the Tokyo Metropolis in Japan. A 2015 estimate counted 444,356 residents and a population density of 12,770 people per square kilometre across a total area of 34.80 square kilometres. The modern ward grew out of the former Minami-Katsushika District, whose seven towns and villages merged into the old Tokyo City on 1 October 1932, and the special ward itself was founded on 15 March 1947. Its notable people include the manga artist Osamu Akimoto, creator of the long-running series set at a police box in Kameari, and the actress and voice actress Rumi Hiiragi.
