The history of the university goes back to the overseas company Kumamoto ( 熊 本 海外 協会 ), which was founded in 1918 and established the school for Chinese language in Kumamoto Prefecture ( 熊 本 県 支那 語 学校 ) in 1938 . It has its direct origin in the Institute for East Asian Languages ​​( 東洋 語 学 専 門 学校 , Tōyō gogaku semmon gakkō ) founded in 1942 , which consists of three language departments (Chinese, Russian, and Malay). The opening ceremony took place the following year, on May 30, 1943 , and has been celebrated annually since then as the founding day.

After the end of the Second World War in November 1945, the institute was renamed the Linguistic Institute Kumamoto ( 熊 本 語 学 専 門 学校 ) and in 1950 under the first President Morio Takahashi in Kumamoto University ( 熊 本 短期 大学 , Kumamoto tanki daigaku ). In 1954 the campus was moved to Ōe and in the same year the Kumamoto University of Commerce ( 熊 本 商科 大学 , Kumamoto shōka daigaku ) was founded as a four-year university.
