Abstract
An ignition plug that reliably restrains generation of corona discharge for enhancing accuracy in detection of ionic current and method of manufacturing same. The ignition plug is configured such that a metallic shell and an insulator are fixed together by means of a crimped portion provided at a rear end portion of the metallic shell and bent radially inward. An electrically insulative filling member fills a space formed between the crimped portion and the insulator. The filling member covers at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of a rear trunk portion of the insulator along the entire circumference and the entirety of a rear end surface of the metallic shell, which is a portion of the outer surface of the crimped portion and is visible from the rear side with respect to the direction of an axial line CL
