About Us
The Komaba Times is an English-language magazine at The University of Tokyo, Komaba Campus. Founded in 2011, it is now student-run from the fall semester of 2019. Our aim is to give students a space to freely express their voices, opinions and experiences to the UTokyo community and to the wider world. We hope that by giving students this space and freedom to share their perspectives, we can foster wider, deeper and more active participation within the student body towards the betterment of our community.
We publish regularly on our website and Instagram page, and publish in print annually every April. All UTokyo students (undergraduate students, exchange students, graduate/doctoral students, and research students) as well as staff members from all campuses, departments, faculties and levels are encouraged to contribute and take part in the publication.
