Atsuko Ikeda (池田厚子 Ikeda Atsuko?, born 7 March 1931), formerly Atsuko, Princess Yori (順宮厚子内親王 Yori-no-miya Atsuko Naishinnō?), is the widow of Marquis Takamasa Ikeda (池田隆政 Ikeda Takamasa?, 21 October 1926 – 21 July 2012) and fourth daughter of Emperor Shōwa and Empress Kōjun. As such, she is the older sister of Emperor Akihito.
Princess Atsuko was born at the Tokyo Imperial Palace. Her childhood appellation was Yori-no-miya (順宮?).
As with her elder sisters, she was not raised by her biological parents, but by a succession of court ladies at a separate palace built for her and her elder sisters in the Marunouchi district of Tokyo. She graduated from the Gakushūin Peer’s School, and was also tutored along with her siblings in English language by an American tutor, Elizabeth Gray Vining during the American occupation of Japan following World War II. She graduated Gakushuin University Women's College in March 1952.
