“I didn’t want wrestling to be my whole life.

“I didn’t want wrestling to be my whole life. I wanted to broaden my perspective through education and become someone who can contribute to society.”

Nonoka Ozaki, a recent graduate of the Keio University Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, took up wrestling at the age of 7, and eventually went on to win the Bronze in Women’s 68 kg Freestyle at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

🏫 Happy Keio Foundation Day! 🏫

Today Keio University celebrates the 167th anniversary of its founding. Keio Foundation Day has been a designated university holiday since 1909, just over fifty years after its establishment in 1858, and provides an opportunity to reflect on Keio’s origins and those who pioneered its founding.

“Many creatives have little interest in the business aspects of their work. This often leads to their work never seeing the light of day and their talent being lost to obscurity.”

Takuya Miyata, a recent graduate of the Keio University Faculty of Business and Commerce, began producing independent films shortly after entering university. In his second year, he founded the creative collective TSUNAGU alongside peers from different universities. They won first prize with their video Guess What at last year’s Minato Shopping Arcade Video Contest.

⚾ President Itoh Throws Pitch at Tokyo Big6 Open

⚾ President Itoh Throws Pitch at Tokyo Big6 Opening Ceremony ⚾

This year the Tokyo Big6 Baseball League celebrates its 100th anniversary, and there are a slew of exciting events in store—the unveiling of a commemorative statue, the return of baseball legends to throw ceremonial first pitches, and even games that pit pros against student athletes.

On April 12, Keio University President Kohei Itoh took to the mound at Meiji Jingu Stadium in downtown Tokyo to kick off the League’s opening event with a ceremonial pitch. Professor Takaaki Kato, the current faculty advisor for the Keio University Baseball Club, delivered opening remarks at the ceremony.

The Tokyo Big6 Baseball league, which sees athletes from six prominent universities duke it out for the Japanese collegiate baseball crown, was founded in 1925. A major highlight are the matches between Waseda and Keio, or “Sokei-sen” in Japanese, during which classes are suspended and students turn out in droves to cheer for their respective teams.

With the championship of the 2025 Spring League just weeks away, and exciting developments such as the introduction of instant replay judging, we can’t help but wonder—who will emerge victorious?
