Hiroshima Army Cadet School was established in May 1896 to train officer candidates for the Imperial Japanese Army from an early age. Graduates went on to the Army Central Cadet School and later to the Army Preparatory School.
Former site of Hiroshima Army Cadet School.
The school had about 50 students, who entered between the ages of 13 and 16 and received three years course of education. Tuition was half price for the children of army and navy officers, and was exempt for children of those killed in the war. In addition, they were called "Star Students" because they had a gold star mark on the collar of their uniforms.
Graduates went on to the Central Military Academy for two years of education. After graduating from the Central Military Academy, they became officer candidates and served as non-commissioned officers (non-commissioned officers) in each unit for about six months before moving on to the Military Academy.
Amid a global trend toward disarmament the school was abolished on May 1, 1925.
On April 1, 1936, as the war situation in China was escalating, Hiroshima Army Cadet School was reopened.
School was abolished and disbanded following Japan's defeat in the Pacific War.
