Chisaka Takamasa (?? ??, March 11, 1841 – December 3, 1912) was a Japanese samurai of the late Edo period who went on to become a soldier, government official, and businessman in the Meiji era.
He served as a karo in the Yonezawa Domain's administration. Takamasa's career articulated the transition of the lives of the samurai from service to their lords to civil or government service in modern Japan.
This development was underpinned by the relationships between the samurai and their previous lords.
In the case of Takamasa, his former liege promoted his employment - as was done for other former samurai (shizoku jusan) of the Kanazawa - by getting his appointment as Nomi County Chief approved.
He was later appointed as the governor of Ishikawa Prefecture.
