It generally excludes the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. The term "mainland China", which avoids calling the area simply "China" and thereby recognizing the founding of the PRC as <i>the</i> "China", was coined by the Kuomintang (KMT) after it took control of Taiwan, particularly after 1949, when the KMT-led Republic of China (ROC) government was defeated in the Chinese Civil War on the mainland and fled to Taiwan, and pledged to "retake the Mainland". The KMT considers both sides of the Taiwan Strait, i.e. including Taiwan, as (one) "China" and one country; whereas Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) considers only mainland China as "China" and Taiwan (ROC) as "Taiwan" and that they are different countries.</p> <p>There are two terms </p>

Ikebukuro West Gate Park

<p><i><b>Ikebukuro West Gate Park</b></i> <span>(<span lang="ja" xml:lang="ja">池袋ウエストゲートãƒ'ーク</span>)</span>, usually referred to by its initials <b>IWGP</b>, is a series of urban mystery novels by Ira Ishida. It was adapted into a very successful TV series directed by Tsutsumi Yukihiko, and then a manga, released by Digital Manga Publishing in English.</p> <p>The series revolves around 20-year-old Makoto, who frequently gets involved in highly dangerous situations, usually against his own judgment. Along for the ride are his best buddies Shun, Masa, and Takashi, the enigmatic leader of a local gang in Ikebukuro. The manga loosely follows the TV series, having the same story arcs, but focusing less on the inter-gang tensions. Along with the TV series and 4 volume initial series, a 1 volume sequel was also made, but was not made by the original creator.</p> <p></p> <h2><span id="Characters">Characters</span></h2><br><img title="Ikebukuro West Gate Park" alt="Ikebuk
