Komazawa University campus
Komazawa University (駒澤大学, Komazawa Daigaku), abbreviated as 駒大 Komadai, is one of the oldest universities in Japan. Its history starts in 1592, when a seminary was established to be a center of learning for the young monks of the Soto sect, one of the two main Zen Buddhist traditions in Japan.
The University's sumo club has produced a couple professional sumo wrestlers, with komusubi Shohozan being their most successful alumnus. As of 2025, 4 members of Komazawa University's sumo club have turned professional, with 2 reaching the elite sekitori ranks.
