It became IEEE Tokyo Section by the merger of IRE and AIEE in 1963. The Section covered entire Japan, but like Sections in the U.S., we used the city name. In 1998, Sapporo, Sendai, Nagoya, Kansai, Hiroshima, Shikoku, and Fukuoka Sections were established, and in 2006 Shin-Etsu Section was formed, and now Tokyo Section covers Kanto area (Tokyo and surroundings).
