The University is made up of three graduate schools: the Graduate School of Education, the Akio Morita School of Business (named after Sony founder Akio Morita), and the Akira Kurosawa School of Film (named after Akira Kurosawa).
The settlement grants Pavel the recognition from Sony that he was the original inventor of the Walkman; this apparently could only be achieved after the death of Akio Morita, the founder of Sony and previously-recognised creator of the personal stereo.
The prototype was built in 1978 by audio-division engineer Nobutoshi Kihara for Sony co-chairman Akio Morita, who wanted to be able to listen to operas during his frequent trans-Pacific plane trips.
