Nerima (練馬区, Nerima-ku) is a special ward of the Tokyo Metropolis, in the Kantō region of Japan. Special wards are the municipal-level divisions that together make up the core of Tokyo, and each one has its own elected mayor and assembly. Because the Tokyo Metropolitan Government provides some services that other Japanese municipalities provide on their own, the special wards differ in status from ordinary cities, which are the shi used elsewhere in the country. The population and area figures are those quoted in the article at the time of writing and may differ from later census results.
