Kiyo Takeda (Japanese: 武田キヨ, 21 September 1896 – 14 March 1954) was a Japanese educator and politician. She was one of the first group of women elected to the House of Representatives in 1946.[1]
After World War II, Takeda joined the Liberal Party. She was a candidate for the party in Hiroshima in the 1946 general elections (the first in which women could vote), and was elected to the House of Representatives.[2] She was re-elected in the 1947 elections, shortly after which she joined the Democratic Party. She lost her seat in the 1949 elections and died of a cerebral haemorrhage in 1954.
