Kōyō Ishikawa (石川 光陽 Ishikawa Kōyō, 1904–1989) was a renowned Japanese photographer.[1] As an officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, he was virtually the only person who pictured the immediate damages by the bombings of Tokyo in World War II under a strict regulation that prohibited civilians from taking pictures of war damages.[2][3]
