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 Tomoatsu Godai, 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 for This spirit has given our university a freehearted character, and it has produced many great alumni. Among them are the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry Distinguished Professor Yoichiro Nambu, who established the theoretical physics group at our university and won 1880 1928 in subatomic physics. the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2008 for the discovery of the theory of spontaneous broken symmetry, which is the Establishment of Founding of basis for elementary particle physics.

Why Study at OCU?
Founder’s Noble Spirit Fused with Mercantile Rationalism
One of our inspirational founders was Tomoatsu Godai, a former samurai who understood the importance of industrialization. He studied in Britain before the Meiji Revolution in 1868, a landmark of Japanese modernization, and greatly contributed to the development of modern Osaka, a city of commerce, industry, culture and innovation. Godai’s core belief was to think of others before thinking of oneself.
Good for Everyone（Sanpo-yoshi） Social Conscience of Osaka Citizens
Godai was enthusiastically supported by the people of Osaka. Why? Because his attitude was perfectly aligned with the merchants’ belief in sanpo-yoshi, which means “benefit for all three sides”: vendors, customers and society in general.
OCU Innovators
OCU adopts Godai’s spirit in its disciplines. In research as well as in education, we foster modern samurai and encourage them to venture out in various intellectual fields, always thinking of others.
Osaka: International City for Two Millenniums
Osaka has been a social, commercial and cultural center of Japan for almost 2000 years. The city has also been a hub of international exchange. Osaka’s cultural diversity distinguishes it from other large megalopolises in Japan, and the people are friendly, the food is excellent and life is exciting.
