Chikanao was the son of [[Itami Masaoki]] and was related to the Itami of [[Settsu province]]. When [[Itami castle]] fell to rivals of the clan in [1529]], Chikanao was spirited away by Itami retainers, passing from [[Ise province]] to [[Kozuke province|Kôzuke province]] until settling in [[Suruga province]]. He became a retainer of [[Imagawa Yoshimoto]] and during the time of the latter's successor, [[Imagawa Ujizane|Ujizane]], was appointed to command naval vessels. In [[1569]] he became a retainer of [[Takeda Shingen]] and served the Takeda as a naval commander. Following the fall of the Takeda in [[1582]], Chikanao found service with the Tokugawa, whom he also served in a naval capacity
