  <p>Dark Mousy was the greatest phantom thief.

Dark is some what immortal since 14 years ago. He was intiated in a ritual with Daisuke Niwa 14 years ago to become immortal. The bad part of the ritual was Dark would be in a coma state inside Daisuke's body till he turned 14. Dark's rabbit, Wizu, watched over Daisuke till he was able to transform into Dark.

<p>Some anime and movies feature and are shown with real world locations.</p>

<p>For example, <a href="http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=575775" rel="nofollow">this post</a> gives some of the real world locations involved in anime such as <em>5 Centimeters Per Second</em> (Shinjuku and Tanegashima) and <em>Kiki's Delivery Service</em> (Visby, a town on the Swedish island of Gotland).</p>

<p>I was wondering: where does <em>D.N.Angel</em> take place? Is it based on a real world location?</p>

For example, [this post](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=575775) gives some of the real world locations involved in anime such as *5 Centimeters Per Second* (Shinjuku and Tanegashima) and *Kiki's Delivery Service* (Visby, a town on the Swedish island of Gotland).

I was wondering: where does *D.N.Angel* take place? Is it based on a real world location?

The real world location for the events in the anime D.N. Angel was based on "Azumano District in Tokyo"

According to [this Post](http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/smnewera/dark.html) about Dark Mousy:

> Dark Mousy was the greatest phantom thief. Last appeared 14 years ago, disappeared suddenly, and then now he's out wreaking havoc around the **Azumano District of Tokyo** as he did for centuries. Nobody knows where he's from, nobody knows who he really is, and nobody knows what his real purpose is behind stealing all the artwork from various museums.
