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 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ 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 21:36, 3 July 2026.

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.

== History ==
[[File:Kyoto Imperial University-old1.jpg|thumb|Old photo of Kyoto Imperial University]]

=== Founding ===
Kyoto University can trace its roots back to the ((nihongo|'''Chemistry School'''|舎密局|''Seimi-kyoku'')), an institution for Chemistry and Physics founded in Osaka in 1869. Seimi is a Japanese transcription of the Dutch word chemie, meaning chemistry.<ref>((Cite web |title=沿革 |url=https://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ja/about/operation/history2/history |access-date=2024-02-11 |publisher=Kyoto University |language=ja))</ref> In 1894, this institution was replaced by the Third Higher School, which was a specialised boys' boarding school. Back then, the country had only one university, Imperial University (today's [[University of Tokyo]]), and the call for the nation's second university in the Kansai region was gaining momentum. However, due to financial reasons, the government was reluctant to do so.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=[大学が成立した背景] ((!)) 京都大学 白眉センター｜白眉プロジェクト |url=https://www.hakubi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/267/315/2-9/6 |access-date=2024-02-11 |website=www.hakubi.kyoto-u.ac.jp))</ref>

The situation changed when the aristocratic politician [[Saionji Kinmochi]], who was from a notable ''[[kuge]]'' family in Kyoto, suggested the founding of the nation's second university using war reparations from the [[First Sino-Japanese War]].<ref name=":0" /> This plan was edicted accordingly in 1896, and ((nihongo|'''Kyoto Imperial University'''|京都帝國大學|Kyōto-teikoku-daigaku)) was established on June 18, 1897,<ref name="ku-sketch">((cite web |year=2004 |title=Historical Sketch |url=http://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/english/euni_int/e01_eυnka/enkaku.htm |access-date=2007-07-17 |work=About Kyoto University |publisher=Kyoto University))((dead link|date=May 2016|bot=medic))((cbignore|bot=medic))</ref> as the second university in the country. The University started using Third Higher School's buildings, and the higher school moved to a patch of land across the street, where the southern section of the Yoshida Campus stands today. The Imperial University in Tokyo was renamed Tokyo Imperial University following the founding of its counterpart in Kyoto.

It started teaching with the College of Science and Engineering in the year of its foundation, which was followed by the establishment of the College of Law in 1898. Other faculties and colleges were established during its first decade as a university. The low rates of success of its graduates in the Higher Civil Service Examinations led to the Chief Commercial Law Professor Yoshihito Takane ([[:ja:高根義人|高根義人]]) adopting a distinct style of teaching, which he called the 'German way of cherishing the freedom of research, teaching, and learning'. He is said to be the originator of the current motto 'freedom of academic culture (自由の学風, ''Jiyū no Gakufū'')'.<ref>((Cite web |title=平成9年度 入学式式辞 ((!)) 歴代総長の式辞で振り返る ((!)) 京都大学のあゆみ |url=https://125th.kyoto-u.ac.jp/history/ceremony/04/ |access-date=2024-02-11 |website=京都大学 創立125周年記念事業特設サイト |language=ja))</ref>

=== Post-war period ===
The [[Allied Occupation of Japan|Allied Occupation Period]] following Japan's defeat in the Second World War saw a [[Educational reform in occupied Japan|radical reform]] in the country's educational system, and Kyoto University was not immune from it. Along with other Imperial Universities, Kyoto Imperial University dropped the word 'imperial' from its name and came to be known as '''((nihongo|Kyoto University|京都大学|Kyōto daigaku))''' in October 1947. In May 1949, as a result of the American-led reform, former Imperial Universities merged with higher schools and became four-year universities as they are today. Kyoto University merged with the Third Higher School, which had been coexisting with the university since its founding as a university-preparatory boys' boarding school. The now-integrated higher school became the ((nihongo|College of Liberal Arts|教養部|Kyōyō-bu)) within the university in September 1949, and came to be in charge of equipping all first-year undergraduates with general knowledge such as mathematics and foreign languages.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/about/history/index.html|title=History|publisher=Kyoto University|language=ja|access-date=2019-11-02))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.en.kikin.kyoto-u.ac.jp/funds-in-operation/ths/|title=Third Higher School ((!))

Kyoto University has been incorporated as a national university corporation along with all the other national universities, gaining a greater independence from the [[Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology|MEXT]]. 

== Campuses ==
[[File:Kyoto_University_Clock_Tower.jpg|thumb|The Clocktower]]
[[File:Kyoto_University_Campus.jpg|thumb|Yoshida Campus headquarters]]
Kyoto University is organised across three main campuses: Yoshida, Uji, and Katsura, each playing a distinct role in the university's academic and research activities.

Situated in [[Sakyō-ku, Kyoto|Sakyo]], Kyoto, the Yoshida Campus is the oldest and serves as the university's central hub. This campus is characterised by its mix of architectural styles, from historic brick buildings such as the Clock Tower Centennial Hall to modern research facilities. It encapsulates the university's history and is subdivided into seven areas, including the North Campus and the Yoshida-South Campus, which used to be occupied by the Third Higher School.<ref name=":1">((Cite web |title=Campuses |url=https://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/about/profile/campuses |access-date=2024-02-11 |publisher=Kyoto University |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=Campuses ((!)) Academics |url=https://www.iup.kyoto-u.ac.jp/academics/campuses.html |access-date=2024-02-11 |website=Kyoto iUP |language=en))</ref>

The Uji Campus, located in Uji, Kyoto, was formerly occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army. The university acquired it just after its reorganisation into its current form, in 1949. Today, it houses several research institutes and centres focusing on natural sciences and energy. Along with its large laboratories, Uji Campus is recongnised for its greenery and serene environment.<ref name=":1" />

The Katsura Campus, in [[Nishikyō-ku, Kyoto|Nishikyo]], Kyoto, is recognised as a 'Techno-science Hill' for its forward-looking approach to research and education in engineering and informatics. Established in October 2003, Katsura aims to pioneer new knowledge domains in the 21st century. This campus is organised into four sections, each dedicated to different facets of technological and scientific exploration.<ref name=":1" />

==Organization==
Kyoto University is organised into 10 undergraduate faculties and 19 graduate schools. The president of the university is Nagahiro Minato, who assumed the office in October 2020 and expected to serve until September 2026.<ref>((Cite web |title=Message from the President |url=https://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/about/president |access-date=2024-02-11 |publisher=Kyoto University |language=en))</ref>

As of 1 May 2023, the university's student body consists of 13,038 undergraduates and 9,577 postgraduates. Apart from audit students and research students, there are 2,249 international students.<ref>((Cite web |title=学生数 |url=https://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ja/about/data/students |access-date=2024-02-11 |publisher=Kyoto University |language=ja))</ref>
