Kitakami (Japanese: キタカミの里 Land of Kitakami) is an area featured in The Teal Mask expansion for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
In the games
A great mountain towers over the land of Kitakami, and the people live at its base. It is a place of tranquil natural expanses, featuring rice paddies and apple orchards.[1] The Pokémon Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti are revered as heroes by the people of the village for having protected the land of Kitakami in the past.[2]
The player is taken to Kitakami on a school trip to join an outdoors study opportunity held jointly between the Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV and another school.[3] The trip coincides with a seasonal festival that is regularly held in the village in Kitakami, during which the village is bustling with various street vendors and stalls.[1] During the trip, the player meets Kieran and his older sister Carmine, who both live in Kitakami.[4]
