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 CL1.
