{{nihongo|'''Meiji University'''|明治大学|Meiji daigaku}} is a [[private university]] with campuses in [[Tokyo]] and [[Kawasaki, Kanagawa|Kawasaki]], founded in 1881 by three [[Meiji period|Meiji-era]] lawyers, Kishimoto Tatsuo, Miyagi Kōzō, and Yashiro Misao. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Japan with famous alumni in various fields including world politics, sports, or the humanities.
