Nihon University (日本大学; Nihon Daigaku abbreviated as 日大 Nichidai) is the largest university in Japan. Akiyoshi Yamada, the minister of justice, founded Nihon Law School (present: Department of Law) in October 1889. Most of the Campuses are spread out across the Kantō region, especially 5 of the 15 colleges which are in Tokyo.
The university comprises a federation of colleges and institutes known for having produced numerous CEOs of Japanese companies. The College of Art (日芸 — Nichigei) is well known as it produces many artists who represent Japan in the fields of photography, theater, and cinema.
