TUAT is one of the largest recipients of royalty income from patents among Japanese higher level education institutions.
Its two campuses are situated in the cities of Fuchu and Koganei, Tokyo. The university boasts a Nature and Science Museum which holds samples reflecting the history of silk cultivation and textile science, including 500 ukiyoe woodblock prints picturing methods of silk cultivation between the Edo and the Meiji periods.
TUAT’s notable alumni are Professor Akira Endo, Japan Prize laureate; Lasker-Debakey, Clinical Medical Research Award winner; Morshed Khan, previous foreign minister of Bangladesh; Shigeru Uehara,development chief at Honda NSX; and Susumu Ohno, author of the book Evolution by gene duplication.
