* ''Birth: [[1563]]''
* ''Death: [[1588]]''
* ''Distinction: [[Chosokabe clan|Chosokabe]] retainer''
Chikazane was a son of [[Kira Chikasada]] and a nephew of [[Chosokabe Motochika]]. He was married to a cousin, the daughter of Chosokabe Motochika. He showed much promise from an early age but was hot-tempered and combative. In [[1586]] he protested the demands placed on him as part of the building of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Toyotomi Hideyoshi's]] Great Buddha (which called for lumber from Tosa). When [[Chosokabe Nobuchika]] was killed ([[1587]]), Motochika named his 4th son [[Chosokabe Morichika]] as his heir. Chikazane protested this decision and demanded that [[Kagawa Chikazane]] be chosen instead. He had by this time made enemies with [[Hisatake Chikanao]], a leading Chosokabe retainer, and this most probably worked against him. Motochika responded to his vocal complaints by having him placed under confinement. Chikazane was then ordered to commit suicide.
