Out of approximately 1,300 students, over 400 passed Kyoto University (with Kyoto University's Faculty of Medicine seeing approximately 30-50% of successful applicants coming from Kinki Yobiko), achieving results unimaginable by today's standards. The school boasted an impressive roster of instructors, including Sawai, Furukawa, Onishi, Shimozuma, Yamamoto, Fukuzaki, and Kobayashi. Among them, Mr. Yasutaka Nagai for mathematics and Mr. Minoru Hashimoto for English were the two leading figures. During the summer course, students flocked from all over the country, with parents lining up in front of the school building for about a week before the application acceptance date to secure their place.
