The resident's tax is based on how much you earn, although there are slight variations between areas. Not everyone in Sangetsu's area will be paying $1,200, and not everyone is his girlfriend's area will be paying $7,000. It's a percentage of your income- where I live, close to 8%.
I disagree that most foreigners living in Japan are unaware of the resident's tax. Many of those who arrived in the last year, perhaps. The rest of us are very aware of it, since we have to pay it every year.
