Kyoto University is the second national university in Japan after Tokyo University. 1892, 23 members of parliament put forward in a motion to the National Assembly that there is only one Tokyo National University in Japan, and the lack of competition is not conducive to running schools and cultivating students. At that time, it was suggested to build a university in Xijing-Kyoto. 1897 was passed and the university was born. At that time, it was called Kyoto Imperial University.
