*''Born: [[1809]]''
*''Japanese'': 竹川竹斎 ''(Takegawa Chikusai)''
Takegawa Chikusai was an [[Ise province|Ise]]-based merchant known for his [[Bakumatsu Period|Bakumatsu]] era writings on the subject of relations with the Western powers.
He was born in [[1809]] into the Higashi-Takegawa family; his father did financial work for the [[Tokugawa shogunate|shogunate]] and was a student of [[Motoori Norinaga]], while his mother's father was [[Arakida Hisaoyu]], a prominent [[Manyoshu|Man'yôshû]] scholar. He was thus raised within a strongly ''[[Kokugaku]]'' ("nativist") oriented environment. Takegawa later became head of the Higashi-Takegawa family, following his father's death; he took on the name Chikusai after himself entering into retirement.
