Sendai, orthographié Séndaï en français (仙台市, Sendai-shi) est une métropole japonaise, capitale de la préfecture de Miyagi. La population de la ville en 2018 est de 1 088 669 habitants pour une superficie de 783,55 km2. C'est la plus grande ville de la région du Tohoku. À environ 300 km au nord-est de Tokyo, sur l'île de Honshū, Sendai figure parmi les douze plus grandes villes du Japon par le nombre d'habitants. Elle est bordée de montagnes à l'ouest et par la côte du Pacifique à l'est. En matière économique, 50 000 entreprises emploient environ 500 000 personnes, dans des secteurs variés : constructions électriques, textile, caoutchouc, artisanat (soie, laque, céramique), etc. Sendai abrite également un technopôle de recherche (médecine, ingénierie, techniques de pointe), une quinzaine d'universités, dont l'université du Tōhoku et un orchestre philharmonique. Le 11 mars 2011, la ville est frappée par un séisme suivi d'un tsunami, dont l'épicentre est situé à 130 km à l'est, au large des côtes. C'est probablement le plus violent de l'histoire du Japon, et l'un des plus puissants séismes meurtriers jamais enregistré sur la planète depuis 1900.
