The Shibuya incident (????, Shibuya jiken) was a violent confrontation which occurred in June 1946 between rival gangs near Shibuya Station in Tokyo, Japan. The years after World War II saw Japan as a defeated nation and the Japanese people had to improvise in many aspects of daily life.

Shibuya, one of Tokyo's most vibrant districts, is most famous for the Shibuya Crossing, often called the "Scramble," which is the world’s busiest pedestrian intersection where up to 3,000 people cross at once from all directions. Historically, it is the home of the Hachiko Statue, which commemorates the loyal Akita dog who waited at the station every day for nine years for his deceased owner. In recent years, Shibuya has undergone a massive architectural transformation with the opening of Shibuya Sky, a panoramic observation deck atop the Shibuya Scramble Square skyscraper. In pop culture, the "Shibuya Incident" is a major, high-stakes story arc in the popular anime and manga Jujutsu Kaisen, which has led to a surge of fans visiting the specific spots depicted in the series. Beyond that, Shibuya has recently implemented stricter rules regarding public drinking, particularly during Halloween, to manage the massive crowds that flock to the area. It remains the global epicenter of Japanese youth culture, fashion, and urban energy.
