KCG Group Emblem

The emblem of the KCGI and the KCG Group “kcg.edu” originates from the internet domain (www.kcg.edu) obtained in 1995. “kcg” stands for “Kyoto Computer Gakuin” which is the first computer educational institution in Japan founded in 1963. “.edu” is one of the “gTLD” (generic Top Level Domain: one of the top sector internet domain), and only the higher educational institution approved by the US accreditation organization is permitted to use the domain. The KCG group is the only and the very first educational institution in Japan, approved to use “.edu” because the group has been well known as a highly-qualified higher educational institution for computer, equipping the latest technological programs. It was a revolutionary event, because “.edu” was only given to the US educational institutions at that time. In addition, the KCG group has been maintaining close collaboration with the US IT experts including researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Our emblem “kcg.edu” proves that the KCG group is a higher educational institution approved not only in Japan, but also in the US, and has strong initiative spirits. It also represents continuous pioneer spirits and an educational ideal of training personnel who can explore and response the current and future social needs of this advanced information society.
