'''Takeda Izumo II''' (1691-1756) was a Japanese playwright. The successor to [[Chikamatsu Monzaemon|Chikimatsu Monzaemon]] at the Takemoto Theater, he wrote the three most celebrated period plays in the ''bunraku'' repertoire: [[Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami|''Sugawara and the Secrets of Calligraphy'']] (1746), [[Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura|''Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees'']] (1747), and [[Kanadehon Chūshingura|''The Treasury of Loyal Retainers'']] (1748). Leonard Pronko writes that although Chikamatsu’s writing “possesses superior literary qualities, Izumo’s has an undeniable variety, richness, and theatricality.”<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
