* ''Death: [[1600]]''
* ''Other names: Magojirô, Tsuno Chikatada''


Chikatada was the third son of [[Chosokabe Motochika|Chôsokabe Motochika]]. He was adopted by [[Tsuno Katsuoki]] and was later sent as a hostage to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] following the latter's conquest of Shikoku in [[1585]]. He was passed over as heir to the [[Chosokabe clan|Chôsokabe]] following the death of his elder brother [[Chosokabe Nobuchika|Nobuchika]] in [[1586]] and his lingering displeasure, combined with slanderous attacks by [[Hisatake Chikanao]] (who favored [[Chosokabe Morichika|Morichika]] as heir), compelled Motochika to have him confined to a temple in [[1599]]. Following the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] (1600), Chikatada was accused of colluding with the [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] and was murdered on Chosokabe Morichika's orders. Tokugawa Ieyasu harshly judged Morichika for this and used it as a basis to deprive him of his domain.
