    AbstractThe Department of Neurosurgery at Kyushu University had its origins within the First Department of Surgery and was established as a subspecialty at the Neurological Institute more than 30 years ago under the leadership of Katsutoshi Kitamura. Further development of the neurosurgical department has proceeded during the chairmanship of Masashi Fukui. These leaders and many other dedicated physicians and surgeons, nurses, investigators from other countries, and staff members have contributed to the creation of a research-oriented neurosurgical environment that interacts fruitfully with the other components of the Neurological Institute. This article describes the development of neurosurgery within Kyushu, which has been a highly cosmopolitan area throughout its long history. More specifically, this account outlines the origin and growth of the Department of Neurosurgery at Kyushu University.
