OpenStreetMap
Hello, I'm new to editing here. As a matter of fact, last night was my first time to try it and I'm still learning. I began editing because I have been using a mapping app that uses OpenStreetMap, and noticed that my city, Tokyo, is only about 25% mapped, and there are almost no nodes.
After a few hours working on my home neighborhood, I realized that I can't do much by myself, as there is so much research to do to get it really right, and well, Tokyo is huge. I will continue whenever I have time, but I hope others in this city are working on it too.

When you go to here: osm.org/user/ThadG
you can go to your settings and set your location. This will show about 30 users of Openstreetmap in your area. Look when they did the last edit and see if there are active ones.
You can also look on the map and click "history". There are a lot of bots working but if you see an edit of a small area, that's probably a local editing. Check out his other edits to see if he's from the region.

Welcome ThadG. Yes you have a big job to do mapping Tokyo hey? And don't forget you're not allowed to copy from existing maps, but the bing imagery is pretty clear there.
At the OpenStreetMap conference we met some very keen mappers: Hiroshi Miura and Kinya Inoue. I'm sure they'd be happy to work with you.

There is a Japanese local chapter with a website here: http://openstreetmap.jp/.
There have been several recent events, some associated with conferences or HackforJapan events. Several members of the Japanese OSM community are active on twitter (Ikiya, Mapconcierge) and Ikiya has a blog.
