His courtesy title was ''Kai-no-kami'', and his Court rank was Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade.

==Biography== Tsugaru Chikatari was the fourth son of Kuroda Naoyuki, ''daimyō'' of Kururi Domain in Kazusa Province, (part of present-day Chiba Prefecture) and was born in that domain's Edo residence. In 1805, he was adopted as the posthumous heir of Tsugaru Tsunetoshi (1789–1805), the 7th Lord of Kuroishi, a 4000 ''koku'' ''hatamoto'' dependency of Hirosaki Domain. However, in April 1809, the Tokugawa shogunate raised the status of Kuroishi to a full ''han'' as part of its agreement with Tsugaru Yasuchika over dispatch of troops to guard the Ezo frontier, and Chikatari saw his revenues increase by an additional 6000 ''koku'', and allowing him to join the ranks of the ''daimyō''.

In 1825, he retired, turning administration of the domain to his adopted son, Tsugaru Yukitsugu. He died in 1849 at the clan's residence in Edo. His grave is at the clan temple of Shinryō-in (a subsidiary of Kan'ei-ji) in Taitō-ku, Tokyo.
