Takushoku University

Takushoku University has five faculties: Commerce, Political Science and Economics, Foreign Languages, International Studies, and Engineering.

It kept to be a peace-loving patriot, during the war by appointing General Kazushige Ugaki as its Chancellor, who was the enemy of Imperial Way Faction(military expansionist), and then Mr. Hiroshi Shimomura, who was the president of Cabinet Intelligence Bureau leading the Hirohito surrender broadcast.

An affiliated judo master Tatsukuma Ushijima and his disciple Masahiko Kimura of the university even planned to assassinate the prime and military minister Hideki Tojo in 1941.

Takushoku University was responsible for training many of Japanese local and colonial administrators as well as overseas merchants.
