You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Kinki_University.JPG|thumb|Kindai University campus]]
((nihongo|'''Kindai University'''|近畿大学|Kinki daigaku|lead=yes)) is a [[Private school|private]] [[non-sectarian]] and [[coeducational]] [[university]] based in [[Higashiosaka, Osaka|Higashiosaka]], [[Osaka]], [[Japan]] with campuses in five other locations: [[Nara, Nara|Nara]], [[Nara Prefecture|Nara]]; [[Ōsakasayama, Osaka|Ōsakasayama]], Osaka; [[Uchita, Wakayama|Uchita]], [[Wakayama Prefecture|Wakayama]]; [[Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima|Higashihiroshima]], [[Hiroshima]]; and [[Iizuka, Fukuoka|Iizuka]], [[Fukuoka Prefecture|Fukuoka]].

The English name of the university had been ''Kinki University'' since its establishment in 1949 to refer to "the surrounding area of the capital city ([[Kyoto]])". On May 20, 2014, the university announced that its English name would officially change to ((nihongo|''Kindai''|近大|)), to avoid the implications of the word "[[kink (sexual)|kinky]]", as the university was planning to globalize with the establishment of a new Foreign Language school.<ref>((Cite news|date=2014-05-21|url=http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/osaka/news/20140521-OYO1T50005.html|title=英語で「異常」、KINKI改めKINDAIへ|trans-title="Kinky" in English - convert from "KINKI" to "KINDAI"|newspaper=The Yomiuri Shimbun|access-date=2014-06-20))</ref> The name change took effect on April 1, 2016.<ref>((cite web |url=http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2016/04/404628.html?searchType=site&req_type=article&phrase=kinki|title=Japan's Kinki Univ. changes English name to avoid embarrassment|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=1 April 2016|website=english.kyodonews.jp/|publisher=Kyodo News|access-date=2 April 2016))</ref>

==History==
The university dates its foundation to the establishment of ((nihongo|Osaka Technical College|大阪専門学校|Ōsaka semmon gakkō)) in 1925. Kindai University started in 1949 when the founder college merged with ((nihongo|Osaka Science and Engineering University|大阪理工科大学|Ōsaka rikōka daigaku)), established in 1943. The first president was Koichi Seko.

Initially there were two schools: the School of Engineering and the School of Commerce (now the School of Business and Economics).

After the war, when food was in short supply, the university opened its Marine Research Center in 1948 in Shirahama-cho, Wakayama Prefecture. Today it is the Fisheries Laboratory. This was the first time that marine fish farming research was carried out in Japan. Other pioneering projects include, along with the opening of the Atomic Energy Research Institute, establishing the first private nuclear reactor facilities in 1960.

When Masataka Seko became the head of Kindai University in 1965, he built and improved the curricula and environment. In 1974, the School of Medicine was opened, followed by a teaching hospital one year later. Existing university buildings were reconstructed and laboratories and other facilities were improved and expanded. Another aspect of his vision that "Education comes from the environment" was realized: There is more greenery on campus.

In 1989, adding to a university that had concentrated on science and technology, the School of Literature, Arts and Cultural Studies was opened. At the same time, the School of Agriculture was moved to [[Nara Prefecture]] which was more conducive to studies concerned with the natural environment.

In 1993, the School of Biology-Oriented Science and Technology was opened in Uchita-cho, Wakayama Prefecture. It attracted public interest as the first center in Japan to concentrate on this new field concerning superior functions possessed by organisms.

As it comprises 11 schools, 44 departments, and a School of Medicine that runs three general hospitals, Kindai University covers many fields of research. The contribution it makes increase each year.

In August 2018, [[Toyota Tsusho]] began a partnership with [[Microsoft]] to create [[fish farming]] tools using the [[Microsoft Azure]] application suite for [[Internet of things|IoT]] technologies related to water management. Developed by researchers from Kindai University, the water pump mechanisms use [[artificial intelligence]] to count the number of fish on a [[conveyor belt]], analyze the number of fish, and deduce the effectiveness of water flow from the data the fish provide. The specific [[computer programs]] used in the process fall under the Azure Machine Learning and the Azure IoT Hub platforms.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/09/01/ai_roundup_310818/|title=Google goes bilingual, Facebook fleshes out translation and TensorFlow is dope - And, Microsoft is assisting fish farmers in Japan|website=[[The Register]] ))</ref>

==Organization==
In addition to its 11 schools, Kindai University runs graduate schools, a distance learning division, four junior colleges, a technical college, a nursing school, and other schools from kindergarten to high school. These facilities cover the whole of western Japan.<ref>[http://ccpc01.cc.kinki.ac.jp/english/af_run/index.htm Associated Facilities Run by the University]((Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref>

== International work ==
From its earliest days, Kindai University has been committed to promoting international understanding through active exchanges with overseas universities. There are two main channels for this interchange.
*First, there are programs for exchanging personnel, both staff and students, in experience and joint research projects.
*Second, the university exchanges scientific documents and shares information with partner institutions.

Both of these channels have helped students and staff to develop perspectives that are truly international in nature.

Some of the institutions Kindai University works with are [[Chulalongkorn University]], [[Chiang Mai University]], [[Shenyang Pharmaceutical University]], Nanjing Forestry University, [[Dalian University of Technology]], Great Wall Hospital, Xi'An University of Technology, [[Sofia Medical University]], [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign|University of Illinois]], [[University of California, Davis]], [[University of Calgary]], [[University of Nottingham]], [[University of Sussex]], and [[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]].

== Scholarly exchange ==
In 1987, Kindai University welcomed the opportunity for the exchange of research with [[Sofia Medical University]] and, in 1988, actively entered into similar agreements with Thailand's Chulalongkorn and Chiang Mai universities. The joint research with Chiang Mai University has included ways to eliminate poppy growing and continues today.

Meanwhile, the schools of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Agriculture, and Medicine have received samples of herbs native to Thailand, all of which are being investigated to determine their effects and analyzed to determine their active agents.

To help with research into breeding kelp bass and other saltwater fish, experts from Kindai University have been dispatched to Chulalongkorn University. There are academic collaboration workshops between the department of architecture, school of engineering, and faculty of architecture and planning with [[Thammasat University]], Thailand.

== Overseas students at Kindai University ==
According to Koichi Seko, Kindai University's first president, "The mission of this university is to throw open its lecture halls and laboratories to the young people of the world and to encourage the development of truly international attitudes." Committed to making these words a reality, in 1953 the university accepted 15 scholarship students from Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, former Burma, and India. About 300 international students are studying in graduate programs or standard university courses.

In 1991, the International Student Center was established to offer detailed advice about studies and daily life in Japan. Supplementing their academic studies, overseas students learn much about Japanese culture and language through interaction with Japanese students and the local community. Kindai University provides a Japanese language course for students who do not have sufficient competence in Japanese.

==Sports==
Kindai University has a [[baseball]] team in the [[Kansai Big Six Baseball League]].

There is also a [[bandy]] team attached to the university.<ref>((cite web|url= http://www.rusbandy.ru/club/475/|publisher= rusbandy.ru|script-title=ru:«Кинки Университет» Осака|access-date= 23 July 2015|language= ru))</ref>

Kindai University has an [[archery]] team which has had several participants in the [[Olympic Games]].
