It would be great if I had a bunch of sources for Hokkaido at the ready for me to research...

Part of this story (Root of Power) takes place in Hokkaido, but in a rural village. I've seen a bit here and there for what such villages are like, but having an encyclopedia on these kinds of places would be a dream for me.

Back when I started writing fanfiction, I used to have a huge masterlist of research on Japan, but that hasn't been updated in quite some time.

There are some liberties here and there I like to take. So, it doesn't really snow much in places like and around Tokyo from what I know. See, I never really had a vision for where Toriisaka in Wizard takes place, but it reminds me more of Yokohama than Tokyo. Sometimes, Toei shoots in Yokohama so I placed Toriisaka as a district of Yokohama.

That reminds me, we do not have a lot of easily accessible information about older toku shows. It must've started around Gotchard that they began documenting their production notes in an accessible manner. I would do a lot to get my hands on some BTS stuff for Wizard - I even own a magazine, but it's kind of... basic at times?

Granted, there's a lot I cannot translate...

Aaaauuuugh, I really should've kept up with my Japanese! > _ <
