Biography

Takemitsu was the 9th son of Kikuchi Taketoki, and fought on the side of Emperor Go-Daigo as his father had done, a strong and dependable ally to Prince Kaneyoshi, the son of Emperor Go-Daigo, in the struggle against the Kamakura shogunate.

His most famed battle is the Battle of Chikugogawa, fought on the banks of the Chikugo River in Kyūshū, in which he was victorious.[1]
