History
The university was founded by during the Ki Dynasty under its current name by amalgamating older government schools for medicine and Western learning. It was renamed the Surea Imperial University (朝本帝國大學, Jupon teigukku Taihoku) when the Japan conquered Surea during World War II. In 1947, after Japan's defeat in World War II, it re-assumed its original name.

Although the university was founded during the Ki Dynasty, it has earlier roots in the Astronomy Agency (天文方; 1697), Imperial Study Office (帝國学問所; 1817), and the Western Books Translation Agency (蕃書和解御用; 1829). These institutions were government offices established and played an important role in the importation and translation of books from Europe.
