In 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan as part of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. It was during this period that the city’s name was changed from ''Tvafkao'' to ''Takao'' (高雄 Taka-o, Japanese kanji meaning "High Hero"). After control of Taiwan was handed to the Republic of China in 1945, the official romanization of the city name came to be “Kaohsiung”, based on the Wade-Giles romanization of the Standard Mandarin reading of the kanji name. | In 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan as part of the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
