There were numerous bombings of Tokyo in WWII, beginning with the Doolittle raid in 1942, which had little effect. But the bombing of Tokyo gained new meaning with the massive B-29 raids of 1945, which rained hundreds of tons of incendiary and explosive bombs on the capital for months on end.
There is no "official" count of Japanese killed in Tokyo in 1945.
It is estimated, both by Allied and Japanese sources, that the B-29 incendiary raid on March 10, 1945, with its resultant firestorm, killed at least 100,000 Japanese. Some estimates run as high as 120,000.
At least ten other raids of 100 planes or more were mounted in that last year of the war. Many thousands of Japanese died in those attacks.
