General

Asano Junior & Senior High School (浅野中学校高等学校, Asano Chūgakkō Kōtōgakkō), often referred to as "Asano", is a private boys' school located in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.[1] Asano Sōichirō (the founder of Asano zaibatsu) and Asano zaibatsu (Asano Conglomerate) founded this school in 1920.[2] The Academy consists of Asano Junior High School (Grades 7-9) and Asano Senior High School (Grades 10-12) with approximately 800 students respectively.[3] Admission to the Junior High School is highly competitive.
