Takayama Chogyu (?? ??, 28 February 1871 – 24 December 1902), real name Takayama Rinjiro, was the pen name of a Japanese author and literary critic.
He influenced Japanese literature in the late Meiji period with his blend of romantic individualism, concepts of self-realization, aesthetics, and nationalism.
However, many of Chogyu's works seem cryptic to readers today, due to the archaic style he employed.
