Why does wikipedia give Tokyo 2 different populations?

Question:


according to wikipedia:
- Metropolis 13,010,279 (April 1, 2,010)
- Metro 35,676,000

so why does it have 2? is it 13 million or 36 million. I'm kinda confused cos this is with every city, and in geography, I have to make a presentation on Tokyo and I'm not sure if i should put 35 or 13
thanks

Answer:


13M is population of Tokyo as one prefecture.

36M is population of Greater Tokyo Area.

Usually, "Tokyo" means the former.
