Baron Yoshitoki Sugitani (杉溪由言, Sugitani Yoshitoki, November 13, 1892 – May 3, 1965) was a Japanese politician and nobleman. He served as a member of the House of Peers as a baron from 1932 to 1947.

Life

Sugitani was born on November 13, 1892 as Tameyoshi Reizei, the son of Viscount Reizei Tameisa of the Reizei family. He was then adopted by Baron Sugitani Tokinaga, and changed his name to Yoshitoki in 1915. Following his father's retirement, he succeeded his father's baronetcy on October 1, 1929.

In July 1919, Sugitani graduated from the Imperial University of Tokyo, having majored in history. He continued his studies at the Imperial University of Tokyo in politics, graduating in 1922. He entered The Tokyo Electric Light Company the same year.

Sugitani served as an instructor and a magistrate at the Utakai Hajime. He also served as sankō (a high-ranking official waiting) in the Outa-dokoro of the Ministry of the Imperial Household.

On July 10, 1932, Sugitani was elected to the House of Peers as a baron member, representing Kōseikai. He served as a member of the House of Peers until May 2, 1947, when the House of Peers was abolished.
