Ikeda Kiyoshi

was a Japanese bureaucrat, police official, and politician. A career official of the Home Ministry, he served as the 22nd Director-General of the Hokkaidō Agency, Governor of Osaka Prefecture, Superintendent-General of the Metropolitan Police, and later as a member of both the House of Peers and the House of Representatives.

Early life and education Ikeda was born on 15 February 1885 in Kagoshima Prefecture.

On 22 April 1936, Ikeda was appointed the 22nd Director-General of the Hokkaidō Agency. The official Hokkaido archive gives his tenure as lasting until 5 June 1937. Later in 1945 he was appointed to the House of Peers, though his tenure there was brief; Shōwakan's index to the August–October 1945 Kanpō records his resignation from the chamber later that same month.

After the end of the Allied purge, Ikeda entered electoral politics. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1952, and election records show that he was re-elected from Kagoshima 1st district in 1953 as a Liberal Party candidate before losing his seat at the 1955 general election.
