Chiba Munetane

Chiba Munetane (1265–1294) was the ninth head of the Chiba clan of Shimōsa and a gokenin of the Kamakura shogunate, succeeding his father Yoritane in 1275. After the Mongol invasions he served on the Kyushu coastal guard, stationed in Ogi district, Hizen.

While Munetane was absent in Kyushu, his younger brother Tanemune, minding the home estate of Chiba-no-shō, made himself its effective master. Munetane died in 1294; his heirs fought Tanemune's line for the headship, and his second son Taneyasu founded the Kyushu Chiba.
