Sh15uya (Sh15uya（シブヤフィフティーン） Shibuya Fifutīn?, Shibuya Fifteen) is a Japanese television series (or dorama), broadcast on TV Asahi from January 10 to March 10 of 2005. As the title implies, the setting is the famous district of Shibuya in Tokyo, however, it is only a virtual simulation of Shibuya.
The plot concerns a group of fifteen-year-olds. The story centers on a boy named Tsuyoshi trying to recover his memories and find a way out of Shibuya. The inhabitants of Shibuya cannot leave the confines of the city. The world of Shibuya 15 is regulated by an entity know as "Piece" (alternatively translated as "Peace"). Piece locks onto "broken" inhabitants and kills those who have not operated in the proper confines of the world.
The victim is "reset" and inserted back into Shibuya with a new name and identity, their previous identity completely wiped from the minds of others.
