Hello.

Where is the capital of Brazil?
What is the capital of Brazil?

I've seen the sentence 'What is the capital of **?' many times.
I wonder if 'Where is the capital of ** ?' is also okay.

No. Not unless you actually mean where is the city of Brasilia situated? (rather than which city is Brazil’s capital?).
