I have no idea who has been stencilling and spraypainting the word "Tokyo" everywhere for the past couple of years or so. I'd guess that it's some sort of promotion, perhaps for the local band Tokyo Police Club, but I'm just not sure.

I took the first photo at the very westernmost fringes of Koreatown, next to the Christie Pits park and just down from the Christie subway station. The other two photos were taken in the Dovercourt Village neighbourhood (1, 2, 3). See also Chipsterman's Flickr set Project Tokyo! for more examples.
