Mōri Chikahira

Mōri Chikahira (died 1375) was a Nanboku-chō warrior and steward of Yoshida-no-shō in Aki Province. He first fought for the Southern Court with his father Sadachika, then submitted through his grandfather Tokichika and moved to Aki. As his son Motoharu had already inherited the clan headship, Chikahira built Kusakazu Castle and founded a branch house.

In the Kannō Disturbance of 1350 he joined the anti-bakufu side, and while Motoharu fought in Kyushu he attacked his son's lands, repulsing the Aki shugo's siege.
