Tong-Nou is the fictional island on which the game Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou takes place. The island is located "far to the east", floating above the oceans of Earth. Its appearance is that of a giant green head.

The Five Lands

Tong-Nou has five lands based on the Chinese "wuxing" (or "five elements"), namely:

• Tong-nou, the Central Mountain
• Yui-wang, the Land of Desire
• Mon-chien, the Land of Dreaming
• Ming-ken, the Land of Life
• Shi-chieng, the Land of Time

These lands can be entered through different parts of Tong-Nou. The Central Mountain can be entered through the symbol on the back, Yui-wang through its left ear, Mon-chien through its left cheek, Ming-ken through its right ear, and Shi-chieng through its right cheek. There's also Hou-ang, the Phantom Marketplace, which is not a land.

Trivia

• The head is played by Osamu Sato himself.
• This location is the "Eastern Mind" that the game's title refers to.
