Ikushima Shingorô was a [[kabuki]] actor of the [[Genroku]] period, famous for his involvement in the [[1714]] scandal known as the [[Ejima-Ikushima Affair]].

Originally based in [[Osaka]], Ikushima arrived in [[Edo]] in [[1702]]/3. He performed in the premiere of the play ''[[Sukeroku]]'', as the ''[[sake|saké]]'' merchant Shimbei, in [[1713]].

Ikushima was then banished from Edo following the Ejima-Ikushima Affair, in which he played a central role.
