Chiba Kazutane

Chiba Kazutane (c. 1310–1336) was the eldest son of Sadatane, eleventh head of the Chiba clan of Shimōsa, and is counted as the clan's twelfth head, though he died before formally succeeding. In the Nanboku-chō war he served the Southern Court under Nitta Yoshisada against Ashikaga Takauji.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of 1336, at Shiga village in Tamba province, he was killed in battle by Hosokawa Jōzen of the Ashikaga army. His younger brother Ujitane eventually succeeded their father as Chiba head.
