Sōma Chikatane

Sōma Chikatane (dates unknown) was the seventh head of the Mutsu Sōma clan and lord of Odaka Castle, who accompanied his father Shigetane in the clan's migration from Shimōsa to Mutsu. He inherited the headship in 1335 and fought for Ashikaga Takauji against the Kenmu regime, seeing action at Hakone and Takenoshita.

While he campaigned as far as Kyushu, his father fell at Kamakura and Odaka fell to the Southern Court. Returning north, he rallied the clan survivors, defeated Kitabatake Akiie, and retook the old domains. He appears to have retired as a monk in 1358.
