Nobel Prize laureate.
The Nobel Prizes were awarded to three faculty members enrolled at Meijo University, not to any graduates of Meijo Univ. at all.
Despite the fact, Meijo Univ. is proud of the award and stated it as if "Meijo Univ. graduates have produced Nobel laureates", it may be misinterpreted.
In Japan, faculty members of national universities retire at the age of 60 to 65, and many of them go on to become professors at private universities. Since few people are awarded the Nobel Prize at a young age, and most of them are over 65 years old, many of them are awarded the Nobel Prize while they are still teaching at private universities or living in their spare time. For instance, Akira Suzuki (chemist), who graduated from Hokkaido University won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2010, was retired from teaching at the time of the award, so on a paper he was unemployed when he won the Nobel Prize. Of course, no one says that an unemployed person won the Nobel Prize.
