Meiji University (明治大学 Meiji daigaku?) is a famous private university in Chiyoda, Tokyo, founded in 1881 by three emerging lawyers of the Meiji Era, Tatsuo Kishimoto, Kozo Miyagi, and Misao Yasiro. Meiji University is also known as one of the Tokyo Six Universities.
The University has eight faculties with total of around 33,000 students on three campuses in Ochanomizu, the Izumi neighborhood of Suginami-ku, and the Ikuta neighborhood of Tama-ku, Kawasaki.
