Ushimaro Sawada (沢田 牛麿, Sawada Ushimaro; 6 February 1874 – 29 January 1958) was a Japanese bureaucrat and politician who served as Governor of Aomori Prefecture, Governor of Saga Prefecture, Governor of Ishikawa Prefecture, Governor of Fukuoka Prefecture, 19th Director-General of the Hokkaidō Agency, and later as a member of the House of Peers.[1][2]

Career

By the early twentieth century he had already entered government service. He served as an Army Ministry councillor, as a professor at the Police and Prison School concurrently with service as a Home Ministry councillor, as a Tokyo prefectural official transferred to the post of Resident-General's police official in Korea, and later as a Resident-General's secretary and as a Kagoshima prefectural official.[3][4][5][6]

Sawada later moved into senior prefectural office such as Governor of Aomori Prefecture in 1918 and Governor of Saga Prefecture in 1921.[7][8] On 3 June 1921, after Governor Toki Kahei transferred to the Kwantung Government, Sawada was appointed Governor of Ishikawa Prefecture. He was then Governor of Fukuoka Prefecture before his becoming Director-General of the Hokkaidō Agency.[9][10][11]

Sawada became the 19th Director-General of the Hokkaidō Agency on 30 April 1927 and remained in office until 5 July 1929.[12] In that role he was also appointed as a government delegate for matters relating to individual ministries.[13]

By the closing years of the pre-war system Sawada was serving in the House of Peers.[14][15][16]
