 Attention: Ms. Cecilia D. Blye

 Chief, Office of Global Security Risk

 Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

 Form 20-F/A for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005

 Dear Ms. Blye:

 We are
submitting this letter on behalf of our client Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (the “Registrant”) in response to your letter, dated October 31, 2006, addressed to Mr. Nobuo Kuroyanagi, the Registrant’s President and
Chief Executive Officer. We appreciate the Staff’s review of and comments to the Registrant’s responses provided in our previous response letters dated September 7, 2006 and October 19, 2006.

 Set forth below are the comments of the Staff together with the Registrant’s responses to those comments.

 Comment No. 1. We refer you to your “Response to Comment No. 2,” in which you describe your trade finance transactions with
entities in or affiliated with Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. We note your representation that it would be impractical and extremely burdensome for you to provide specific details regarding those transactions. To assist us in
understanding the significance to you of the transactions, please tell us what percentage of your assets as of March 31, 2006, the total dollar amount

 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

 of your risk exposure in connection with such transactions during the fiscal year ended on that date represents. Alternatively, you may confirm to us, if true, that the total dollar amount of your risk exposure in
connection with trade finance transactions related to the referenced countries during the fiscal year does not represent a greater percentage of your total assets at March 31, 2006, than does the dollar amount of loans outstanding to borrowers
in or affiliated with Iran and Cuba at that date.

 Response to Comment No. 1. The Registrant has advised us that its trade
finance transactions involving entities in or affiliated with Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan and Syria as of March 31, 2006 totaled approximately ¥142,342 million (approximately $1,186 million at the exchange rate of $1.00 = ¥120).
Such amount of trade finance transactions represented approximately 0.08% of the Registrant’s total assets as of March 31, 2006. These trade finance transactions consisted of (1) letters of credit issued on behalf of Japanese
companies mainly in connection with their importing of petroleum products from Iran, and (2) negotiation (finance) of export documents mainly on behalf of Japanese companies exporting their products.

 Comment No. 2. If the total dollar amount of your risk exposure in connection with trade finance transactions with entities in or affiliated
with Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan and Syria during the fiscal year represents a greater percentage of your total assets at March 31, 2006 than does the dollar amount of loans outstanding to borrowers in or affiliated with Iran and Cuba at
that date, please advise us of the percentage of your total assets at that date which your risk exposure during the fiscal year in connection with each of the five countries represents.

 Response to Comment No. 2. As discussed above, the Registrant has advised us that the total dollar amount of its risk exposure in connection
with trade finance transactions involving entities in or affiliated with Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan and Syria as of March 31, 2006 was approximately $1,186 million. Such amount of trade finance transactions is at a similar level as the
amount of loans outstanding to borrowers in or affiliated with Iran and Cuba as of the same date, which amount was $1,118 million (as disclosed in our previous response letter dated October 19, 2006). The percentage of these trade finance
transactions to the Registrant’s total assets as of March 31, 2006 is approximately 0.07% for Iran, and approximately 0.01% for the other four countries combined.
