Nobutaka Ike (June 6, 1916 – December 15, 2005) was a Stanford University professor of Japanese and East Asian politics.
Nobutaka Ike was born in Seattle as a US citizen to parents who immigrated from Japan.
Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he was forcibly relocated to Camp Harmony, but was released in summer 1942 due to his willingness to assist the US Navy with translation work.
From 1958 until retirement in 1984, Ike worked at Stanford University, on the faculty of the Department of Political Science.
In the late 1990s or early 2000s, Ike and his wife moved to Jacksonville, Florida, where he died in 2005.
