Dr. Ichirō Irabu (伊良部 一郎 Irabu Ichirō?) is a fictional psychiatrist in a series of short stories by Japanese writer Hideo Okuda, originally published primarily in the literary magazine All Yomimono from August 2000 to January 2006 and later collected in three tankōbon: In the Pool (イン・ザ・プール In Za Pūru?), Kūchū Buranko (空中ブランコ?, "Flying Trapeze") and Chōchō Senkyo (町長選挙?, "Mayoral Election"). Of these, Kūchū Buranko is particularly acclaimed, having won Okuda the 131st Naoki Prize (given for a book published in the first half of 2004) but, as of January 2011, only In the Pool has been published in English. Works in other media based on the stories include a feature film, television drama, stage play and anime series.
