Itō Hirobumi

duimnael
Prins Itō Hirobumi (Japannees: 伊藤 博文, Hepburn: Itō Hirofumi, 16 Oktober 1841 – 26 Oktober 1909) was 'n Japannese politikus wat gedien het as die eerste eerste minister van Japan van 1885 tot 1888, en later van 1892 tot 1896, in 1898, en van 1900 tot 1901. Hy was 'n leidende lid van die genrō, 'n groep senior staatsmanne wat beleid gedurende die Meiji-era gedikteer het.

Vier maande later is Itō deur die Koreaanse onafhanklikheidsaktivis en nasionalis An Jung-geun in Harbin, Mantsjoerye, vermoor.
