Yokohama City University (YCU) transitioned into a public university corporation on April 1, 2005, with my appointment as the first Chairman of this newly incorporated entity, entrusted with managing this longstanding institution. As Chairman, I am responsible for overseeing the university's corporate management, while the president handles its academic and research functions. The City of Yokohama, the founding body, set out several "interim goals" to guide the management of the corporation from FY2005 to FY2010. These goals included establishing YCU as a "university of practical international learning" and a "significant university for the city," forming the core objectives of the institution.
