Kitakyushu (北九州市, Kitakyūshū-shi?, lit. "Northern Kyushu") is a city located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. It is midway between Tokyo and Shanghai.
Kitakyushu has seven wards (ku):
The city of Nakama was to become the eighth ward of Kitakyushu in 2005 (to be called Nakama-ku). However, the planned merger was rejected on December 24, 2004 by Nakama's city council, despite having been initiated by Nakama city. The reason is that as part of the merger the twenty-one councillors would have been reduced to just three in the enlarged Kitakyushu.
Kokura Prefecture was founded separately from Fukuoka Prefecture in 1871 when the clan system was abolished. The old wooden-built Kokura Prefectural Office is still standing, and is being restored. It is opposite Riverwalk Kitakyushu. In 1876 Kokura Prefecture was absorbed by Fukuoka Prefecture. The city of Kokura was founded in 1900.
Kokura was the primary target of the nuclear weapon "Fat Man" on August 9, 1945. Major Charles Sweeney had orders to drop the bomb visually, but all three attempts failed due to clouds and smoke from Yahata, which is located only 7 km west of Kokura and had air raids on the previous day, preventing Sweeney from identifying the target clearly. The bomb was ultimately dropped on the city of Nagasaki, the secondary target, at 11:02 JST.
