In 1941 Fukui was engaged in the Army Fuel Laboratory of Japan during World War II. In 1943, he was appointed a lecturer in fuel chemistry at Kyoto Imperial University and began his career as an experimental organic chemist.
Fukui was professor of physical chemistry at Kyoto University from 1951 to 1982. In 1952, Fukui and his young collaborators T. Yonezawa and H. Shingu presented his molecular orbital theory of reactivity in aromatic hydrocarbons, which appeared in the Journal of Chemical Physics and which brought him recognition as a chemist.
In 1982 Fukui became a president of the Kyoto Institute of Technology and held the position for six years.
