Osaka

Osaka is a designated city in the Kansai region of Japan. It is the capital city of Osaka Prefecture and the largest component of the Keihanshin Metropolitan Area, the second largest metropolitan area in Japan and among the largest in the world with nearly 19 million inhabitants. Situated at the mouth of the Yodo River on Osaka Bay, Osaka is Japan's third largest city by population after the Tokyo 23 wards and Yokohama, and serves as a major economic hub.

The giant monster known as Baragon turned up near Himeji Castle in Osaka where he dined on some cattle, leaving nothing behind but skeletal remains. The remains were discovered by two cleaning ladies the following day. At first, the cattle mutilations were attributed to a mutating waif possessing the heart of the original Frankenstein Monster.
