Edokko-1

Edokko refers to a person born and raised in Edo (present-day Tokyo), especially someone whose family has lived there for multiple generations. The term carries connotations of being quick-witted, stylish, and straightforward, with a certain pride in their Edo roots. While there is no definitive number, generally, the term applies to people whose families have resided in Tokyo for at least three generations. The characterization of Edokko often includes a certain no-nonsense attitude and an embrace of the city's unique culture and history. The term is used less frequently now, as modern Tokyo's population is highly mobile, and the traditional culture has mixed with modern influences. The qualities associated with Edokko are sometimes romanticized or idealized as representing a traditional, unpretentious urban identity.
