The University has 10 personnel with an aggregate of around 30,000 understudies, 2,100 of whom are outside. Its five grounds are in Hongō, Komaba, Kashiwa, Shirokane and Nakano. It is the first of Japan's National Seven Universities, and is viewed as the most prestigious college in Japan. It positions as the most noteworthy in Asia and 21st on the planet as indicated by theAcademic Ranking of World Universities 2014. 

            The college was contracted by the Meiji government in 1877 under its present name by amalgamating more seasoned government schools for pharmaceutical and Western learning. It was renamed "the Imperial University (帝國大學 Teikoku daigaku?)" in 1886, and after that Tokyo Imperial University (東京帝國大學 Tōkyō teikoku daigaku?) in 1897 when the Imperial University framework was made. In September 1923, a quake and the accompanying blazes pulverized around 700,000 volumes of the Imperial University Library. The books lost incorporated the Hoshino Library (星野文庫 Hoshino bunko?), an accumulation of around 10,000 books. The books were the previous belonging of Hoshino Hisashi before getting to be a piece of the library of the college and were mostly about Chinese reasoning and history. 

                                  In 1947, after Japan's annihilation in World War II, it re-expected its unique name. With the begin of the new college framework in 1949, Todai gobbled up the previous First Higher School (today's Komaba grounds) and the previous Tokyo Higher School, which thereupon expected the obligation of showing first- and second-year students, while the employees on Hongo principle grounds dealt with third- and fourth-year understudies. 

                                  In spite of the fact that the college was established amid the Meiji period, it has prior roots in the Astronomy Agency (天文方; 1684), Shoheizaka Study Office (昌平坂学問所; 1797), and the Western Books Translation Agency (蕃書和解御用; 1811). These organizations were government workplaces made by the 徳川幕府 Tokugawa shogunate (1603–1867), and assumed a critical part in the importation and interpretation of books from Europe. 

                      Kikuchi Dairoku, an essential figure in Japanese instruction, served as president of Tokyo Imperial University. 

                    For the 1964 Summer Olympics, the college facilitated the running allotment of the cutting edge pentathlon occasion. 

                           On 20 January 2012, Todai reported that it would move the start of its scholarly year from April to September to adjust its timetable to the universal standard. The movement would be staged in more than five years. 

                      As indicated by the Japan Times, the college had 1,282 educators in February 2012. Of those, 58 were ladies. 

                   In the fall of 2012 and shockingly, the University of Tokyo began two undergrad programs completely taught in English and intended for universal understudies — Programs in English at Komaba (PEAK) — the Internatio.
