History
Originally, Takushoku University was named the Taiwan Association School, and was founded to produce graduates to contribute to the development of Taiwan. In 1907, it was renamed as the Oriental Association Vocational School. In 1918, it adopted its present name of Takushoku University. Literally, "Takushoku" means "development and industrialization" as well as "colonization", because Japan had overseas colonies like Taiwan, South Sakhalin, and Korea to industrialize at that time.
Takashoku University was the second best university in Japan, after Tokyo University, until the end of World War II. After the war, the university was dissolved by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers due to its strong support for militarism. It was then renamed as Kōryō University (紅陵大学; Kōryō Daigaku) but has managed to change it back to its original name.

Sports
Takushoku University was responsible for training many of Japanese local and colonial administrators as well as overseas merchants. Several of these people who were karateka (practitioners of karate) took up administrative positions in the Japan Karate Association when it was founded in 1949. The university's karate club was founded around 1924 and has produced many prominent karate instructors and competitors. The university also has a judo program, which produced a second-place result in a 1967 Japanese collegiate competition.
