The Hoankyoku ( Hiragana: ほあんきょく) was an intelligence agency established in the State of Manchuria.

== Background == The State of Manchuria was founded in 1932, but within the country there were many anti-establishment forces operating. As well as bandits and remnants of former military parties, there were Kuomintang, Chinese Communist Party, and Soviet underground groups operating. Above all else, members of the Kuomintang had infiltrated the Manchurian bureaucracy.
