Chiba Tokitane

Chiba Tokitane (1218–1241) was the seventh head of the Chiba clan, succeeding as Chiba no suke in 1228; later genealogies make him Tanetsuna's son rather than his brother. He received a character for his name from the regent Hōjō Yasutoki.

In 1236 he received an imperial edict to rebuild Katori Shrine, the chief shrine of Shimōsa. Ordered by Yasutoki to finish the work, he was kept from joining Shōgun Yoritsune's Kyoto trip in 1238, and he died in 1241 aged twenty-four with the shrine still underway, succeeded by his son Yoritane.
