Takamasa is a Japanese masculine given name formed from taka (“high, noble, prosperous”) and masa (“right, elegant, governance”), with meaning determined by the kanji. Frequent spellings include 高雅 “lofty elegance,” 隆正 “abundant uprightness,” 貴政 “noble governance,” 孝正 “filial rectitude,” and 崇雅 “revered refinement,” among many others; other masa options like 昌 “flourishing” or 真 “true” also occur.

Attested for centuries and favored in warrior and scholarly circles for its virtues of nobility, rectitude, and elegance, the name remains familiar in modern Japan. It is romanized as Takamasa; Taka sometimes serves as a nickname. A close counterpart is Masataka (e.g., 正隆, 雅高), which inverts the same elements. Variation lies chiefly in kanji selection rather than sound, letting families tailor auspicious meanings while keeping the traditional reading.
