Chisaka Takamasa (千坂 高雅, 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.

[2][3] Takamasa entered official service in 1863 and five years later, in 1863, he was given command of the han military force.

He was promoted as a dai-sanji (chief councilor) in 1870 and later accompanied the clan lord Shigenori Uesugi on his European tour.

[1] After his retirement from government service, Takamasa joined the private sector, holding executive positions at companies such as the Ryou Ginko (Ryou Bank), Ujigawa Hydroelectric Power Station, and Yokohama Soko (Yokohama Warehouse).

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.
