Asaichi Isobe (磯部 浅一, Isobe Asaichi, 1 April 1905 – 19 August 1937) was an Imperial Japanese Army officer who was one of the leaders of the 26 February Incident, a coup d'etat attempt by young officers of the Imperial Way Faction.

Career

Born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Isobe graduated from the 38th class of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy and rose to the rank of lieutenant. He was suspended in 1934 for being involved in plans for a coup d'etat, and then discharged from the Army in 1935 when he published an incendiary pamphlet during his suspension. As a civilian, he was a leader in the February 26th Incident and was executed for his involvement.
