Kitabatake Chikafusa (1293–1354) was a court noble and military commander who devoted his life to the cause of Emperor Go-Daigo's Southern Court. His most enduring legacy is the Jinno Shotoki (Chronicle of Gods and Sovereigns, 1339–1343), a pioneering historical and political treatise arguing for the legitimacy of the imperial line descended from the gods and asserting the superiority of Japan as a divine nation.

He spent his later years fighting in Hitachi Province (Ibaraki), writing the Jinno Shotoki while besieged in Oda Castle. He is enshrined at Tokiwa Jinja (Mito) and at Kitabatake Shrine (Mie), near the town his family administered for generations.
