Nape may have been used on some pacific outpost battles, but INCENDIARY (Fire-bombs) bombs were used against Tokyo and the city of DRESDEN in Germany during WWII. Dresden was heavily firebombed.
In Tokyo alone, over 100,000 people died in two days, and about 40% of the city, which was then about the size of New York City, was burned to ashes.

How was napalm used in World War 2?
Yes, Napalm was designed in 1916. Originally Firebombs (Now called napalm) was originally created using a highly flammable diesel fuel. In late 1916-early 1917 napalm then became known as the thickened compound we know today. Different types of acids and other elemental compounds where added to made the solution burn more slowly, thus causing it to cause more damage and decimate bigger known and unknown threats...

Would it have been possible for the World War 2 Allies to have a napalm filled naval artillery shell?
Napalm is jellied gasoline. I should think the shock of firing a shell filled with it from artillery would be extremely dangerous and liable to detonate this unstable substance. Napalm was a mid to late WWII invention, so there would have been little time to develop such ammunition. It would take a large caliber piece of naval artillery to hold enough napalm to do any good, and I expect even a 16" battleship shell would hold less than the smaller canisters dropped by aircraft. White phosphorous shells were used to start fires. The phosphorous was sealed in the shell and scattered by its bursting. Phosphorous begins to burn when exposed to the atmosphere, and will keep burning until it no longer has a source of oxygen.
Who founded Tokyo and why?
Tokyo was originally called Edo, a small fishing village fortified by the Edo Clan in the late 12th Century. In 1457, Ōta Dōkan built Edo Castle.

How did Tokyo become a mega city?
Tokyo became a mega city through a combination of historical, economic, and geographical factors. Its growth accelerated during the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century, as Japan industrialized and urbanized. Post-World War II, rapid economic development and population migration from rural areas fueled further expansion. Today, Tokyo's extensive transportation infrastructure and status as a global financial center continue to attract people, solidifying its position as one of the world's largest cities.
