nihongo|"Tokyo NOVA"|トーキョーN◎VA is a cyberpunk role-playing game with a long history in Japan. It is currently in its fourth edition: "Tokyo NOVA The Detonation". It is possible to play stories in the cyberpunk, hardboiled crime fiction, and contemporary fantasy genres.

The setting is an alternate near-future Tokyo called "Tokyo NOVA", after a pole shift. Tokyo NOVA is a dangerous and attractive city.

Playing cards are used instead of dice in the "Tokyo NOVA" system. It is possible to perform a heroic action based on the player's selection instead of the capricious dice. The game is similar to "Castle Falkenstein", which "Tokyo NOVA" predates by a year. The suits of cards correspond to four abilities: Spade () is reason, club () is passion, heart () is life, and diamond () is mundaneness.

The "styles" that correspond to character classes represent not only the abilities and occupations of the characters but also ways of life. For example, the "Kugutsu" (Japanese for puppet) style represents not only the job of a megacorp's employee but also the character's unshakable loyalty to the company.
