Supplementary notes
*The respective terms have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably.
**Figures represent the share of respondents who selected the answers "familiar with the term and its meaning" and "familiar with the term, but not the meaning."
Original question: "How well do you know the following terms?"
According to a survey conducted in October 2021, over **** percent of participants in Tokyo knew the term "LGBT." A majority of respondents were unfamiliar with other terms relating to the LGBTQ+ community, such as "SOGI" and "Ally."
While the term "SOGI" is an acronym for "sexual orientation and gender identity," "ally" refers to cisgender or heterosexual people supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
