This is a list of mayors of Tokyo from 1898 to 1943. [1] Prior to 1898 the Mayor of Tokyo was also the Governor of Tokyo. In 1943, the city's independent institutions were absorbed by the prefectural administration resulting in the cessation of the office of mayor.
Most mayors of Tokyo were graduates of Tokyo Imperial University or previously worked at the Home Ministry. [2]
