Meiji University (明治大学 Meiji daigaku?) is a 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 in the MARCH level of Tokyo's top ranked private universities and is also known as one of the baseball team of Tokyo Six Universities Alliance.
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.
