Hatakeyama Yoshinari was the first head of the Tokyo Kaisei Academy (today, the [[University of Tokyo]]).

Hatakeyama traveled to Europe in [[1865]], at the age of 23, as one of a group of nineteen [[Satsuma students|young men]] from [[Satsuma han]], who snuck out of the country in that year to go study in the West. For the duration of the journey, he went by the name Sugiura Kôzô. While in Europe, he studied military science. In [[1867]]/7, he relocated to the United States, where he studied law, politics, and social sciences at Rutgers College in New Jersey.

Hatakeyama returned to Japan in [[1871]], and played a role in shaping [[Meiji period]] educational reforms. He later became head of the Tokyo Kaisei Academy (''Tôkyô kaisei gakkô'').
