The university was founded as Konishi Professional School of Photography in Shibuya in 1923. The founder, Rokuemon Sugiura VII, was the president of Konishi Main Shop (later Konica) at that time and founded the school to fulfil the wish of Rokuemon Sugiura VI, the previous president. [1]

Since 2007, the university has offered courses in manga studies and animation studies. Tokyo Polytechnic is also notable for being one of the few universities in Japan to have a game design department, [2] with its faculty including such notable practitioners as Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani [3] [4] and Xevious creator Masanobu Endō. [4] [5] The university also operates the Suginami Animation Museum, which focuses on the history and future of the animation industry in Japan. [6]
