Takahiro Ikeyama (池山 隆寛, born December 17, 1965, in Amagasaki, Hyōgo, Japan) is a former Nippon Professional Baseball infielder. A slugging shortstop, Ikeyama played for the Yakult Swallows his entire career, from 1984 to 2002.
Ikeyama was a five-time Central League Best Nine Award-winner and a seven-time NPB All-Star. He won the 1992 Central League Golden Glove Award.
Ikeyama was part of the Central League-champion Swallows team that lost the 1992 Japan Series to Seibu. He was a member of the 1993, 1995, 1997, and 2001 Swallows squads that won the Japan Series those years.
Some years after retiring as a player, Ikeyama joined the coaching staff of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles; he has been a coach with the Swallows since 2011.
Jim Albright, an expert on Japanese professional baseball, ranks Ikeyama as among the top shortstops in NPB history, on the Swallows' franchise all-star team, on the 1990s Central League all-star team, and on the overall 1990s all-star team.[1]
