Tokai University

Tokai University (東海大学, Tōkai Daigaku) is a private non-sectarian higher education institution located in Tokyo, Japan. It was founded by Dr. Shigeyoshi Matsumae.

It was accredited under Japan's old educational system in 1946 and under the new system in 1950. In 2008, Tokai University, Kyushu Tokai University, and Hokkaido Tokai University were consolidated and reorganized into Tokai University. Its Chinese character name is the same as Tunghai University in Taiwan.

The Bosei Seminar 望星学塾 (Bōsei gakujuku) was founded at Musashino to realize Dr. Shigeyoshi Matsumae's concept of education to the public.

Dr. Matsumae founded the establishing entity of the university, or the Tokai University Educational System, in 1942. The university went through phases under Japan's old educational systems, and reorganized schools accordingly roughly upon three stages for four times.

Foundation for Telecommunications Engineering School 財団法人電気通信工学校 (Zaidanhōjin Denki Tsūshin Kōgakkō) (14 October 1937 – 21 September 1944) operated three schools for telecommunications (21 October 1937 – 21 September 1945), which were renamed firstly to Polytechnic School (21 September 1945 – March 1947) then to Tokai Higher Telecommunications Engineering School (March 1947 - March 1965).

Before the end of World War II, technical colleges were governed under the College Law of 27 March 1903 専門学校令 (Semmon gakkō-rei), and the Foundation for National Defense Science and Technology Institute 財団法人国防理工学園 (Zaidanhōjin Kokubō Rikō Gakuen) (8 December 1942 - 15 August 1945) operated Radio Wave Technology Development Institute (1 February 1944 – 15 August 1945), Radio Science College (18 April 1944 – 15 August 1945). In 1943 Dr. Matsumae opened the Aerial Science College 航空科学専門学校 (Kōkū Kagaku Semmongakkō) (8 April 1943 – 15 August 1945), an antecedent of Tokai University in Miho, Shizuoka, Japan.

Foundation for National Defense Science and Technology Institute was renamed to Tokai Gakuen Foundation 財団法人東海学園 (Zaidanhōjin Tōkaigakuen) (15 August 1945 – May 1, 1946) under Kyūsei daigaku system, and merged three educational establishments into Tokai College (15 August 1945 - 20 October 1945) which was renamed to Tokai Science College (20 October 1945 – March 1950).

Before the Shinsei daigaku system went into effect in 1947, the Foundation was reformed to Tokai University Foundation (1 May 1946 – 7 March 1951) under former Education Law of 6 December 1918, which operated former Tokai University (1 May 1946 – 1 April 1950) where students finished university education in three years.
