Osaka City University is one of the largest public universities in Japan, and the only multidisciplinary university in “The university is here for the city, and the city is here for the university.” Osaka City. It is also the first city university in Japan, tracing its beginnings to the Osaka Commercial Training Institute founded in 1880. This institute was founded thanks to the leadership of Godai Tomoatsu, a cosmopolitan samurai who lived by the motto of “tari” (the idea of giving priority to others), and who was said to be the founding father of the modern economy of Osaka, responsible for modernizing the city.
To mark the opening of our predecessor, the Osaka Commercial Training Institute, Dr. Hajime Seki, the mayor of Osaka at the time, made a quote, saying that as a university with the goal of fostering academia in the background Nobel Prizes of the city of Osaka, “This institution should not be an imitation of Japan’s national universities.” These words have Dr. Yoichiro Nambu（1921-2015） （Distinguished Professor Emeritus） been carried on from one generation to the next as the spirit of establishing our university. Nobel Prize in Physics in 2008 This spirit has given our university a freehearted character, and it has produced many great alumni. Among them are for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous Distinguished Professor Yoichiro Nambu, who established the theoretical physics group at our university and won 1880 1928 broken symmetry in subatomic the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2008 for the discovery of the theory of spontaneous broken symmetry, which is the Establishment of Founding of physics. basis for elementary particle physics. He was followed by Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, Director of the Center for iPS Cell the Osaka Commercial Osaka University of Commerce, Training Institute the rst city university in Japan Research and Application, Kyoto University, who earned his PhD from Osaka City University, and won the Nobel Dr. Shinya Yamanaka Founded by Godai Tomoatsu, the Hajime Seki, the Mayor of Osaka at Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012 for his research on iPS cells (induced pluripotent stem cells).
