Kikuchi Taketoshi

Kikuchi Taketoshi (died 1357), ninth son of Kikuchi Taketoki, was a Kyushu warrior of the Southern Court in the Nanboku-chō wars. For his father's service to Emperor Go-Daigo he was made Kamon-no-suke. In 1335 he rose in Higo against Ashikaga Takauji and defeated Shōni Sadatsune.

At Tatara-no-hama in 1336 Takauji defeated Taketoshi's larger army; his allies Aso Korenao and Kamachi Takehisa fell, and he fled alone into the hills. He died in Usa, Buzen, in 1357.
