The University of Tokyo (''Tokyo Daigaku'', often shortened to ''Todai'') is the oldest and one of the most prestigious National Universities of Japan. Considered the nucleus of higher education in the country, Tokyo University has 10 Faculties (this is roughly equivalent to an Academic Department in the west) and is spread around five campuses in the Greater [[Tokyo]] area. [[The Other Wiki]] has a full article about the University [[wikipedia:University of Tokyo|here]].

Since [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe]] in Anime and Manga, Tokyo University serves the purpose of being a university where the main characters in the story study (if they are not [[Ordinary High School Student]]s anymore), or a school where the [[Ordinary High School Student]] dreams to enter after graduation. Being a student at Todai is also a way to imply that the character is ''extremely intelligent'' in his own right, since admission to the university is very stringent.
