Chōsokabe Kunichika

Template:Japanese name Chōsokabe Kunichika (長宗我部 国親, 1504 – July 8, 1560) was a powerful warlord in Tosa Province, Japan. He was the son of Chōsokabe Kanetsugu. His childhood name was Senyumaru (千熊丸).

After his father was killed by the Motoyama clan in 1508, Kunichika was raised by the aristocrat Ichijō Husaie in Tosa Province. Kunichika was reconciled with the Motoya clan and gathered strength. Kunichika won the Motoyama clan in 1560 and died soon after, and was succeeded by his son, Chōsokabe Motochika.
