'''Saitama''' (Japanese: さいたま市; -shi) is the capital city of Saitama Prefecture in Japan.
The Tokyo disdain for Saitama comes from before World War II, when Saitama was a rural area and considered to be markedly less sophisticated than the capital.
The prefectural name "Saitama" (埼玉県) was changed from kanji into hiragana, thus Saitama City (さいたま市) was born.
