B.G. hits don't indicate that this is necessarily English... TeleComNasSprVen 00:14, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I found one cite in alt.sex.stories.moderated which discusses the use of it as a "proper" Romanization at the bottom. There was also a hits for a presumably fictional Tôkyô-2 and a hit on TV Tôkyô. I'm tempted to add a French section--Google Groups clearly supports it--but I don't know French.--Prosfilaes 01:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * One, two, three, four, five. I would manually add these, but I do not feel trusted. --Pilcrow 12:50, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Probably a typographical approximation of the “Tōkyō”, replacing ‘ō’ (which Latin-1, Windows-1252, and Mac OS Roman all lack), with ‘ô’ (which they have). ~ Robin 03:34, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * In its earliest forms--the first cite is 1888, one year after Hepburn was first used--it was probably just a natural way to indicate a "long" vowel.--Prosfilaes 04:02, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Romanisation of the Japanese long ‘o’ seems historically to have similar variety in its forms to those of the Ancient Greek Ω, ω. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 09:59, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
