About Osaka University
The University of Osaka was founded in 1931 as Osaka Imperial University, Japan's sixth imperial university, with schools of medicine and science, and physicist Hantaro Nagaoka was its first president. It regards the merchant academy Kaitokudo (1724) and Ogata Koan's Tekijuku school of Western medicine (1838) as its intellectual roots. It merged with Osaka University of Foreign Studies in 2007 and changed its English name to The University of Osaka in 2025.
