Hideo Ikeda (池田 秀雄, Ikeda Hideo; February 1880 – January 20, 1954) was a Japanese journalist, bureaucrat, and politician. He worked first as a political reporter for the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, then entered government service, later serving as Governor of Akita Prefecture, Director of the Industrial Bureau of the Government-General of Chōsen, 20th Director-General of the Hokkaidō Agency, Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Commerce and Industry, and a member of the House of Representatives.[1][2][3]
Ikeda was born in 1880 in Hisamoto, Mikatsuki, in what is now Ogi, Saga Prefecture.[1] He attended the former Saga Middle School and the Fifth Higher School before studying at Tokyo Imperial University. Kotobank states that he graduated from the university's English law course in 1909.[1][2]
After graduating, Ikeda joined the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun and worked as a political reporter. Ogi City's historical profile states that, on the recommendation of Gotō Shinpei, he later left journalism for the bureaucracy.[1]
