Sakanoue no Karitamaro (坂上 苅田麿, 727 – February 14, 786) was a samurai commander, and later chinjufu-shōgun (Commander-in-chief of the defense of the North), during Japan's Nara period.
Karitomo's father was Sakanoue no Inukai.
In 764, Karitamaro aided in the repression of a revolt by Fujiwara no Nakamaro.
Karitomo's son was Tamuramaro, the first to hold the title Sei-i Taishōgun.[1]
