Takeo Kikuchi (菊池 武夫, Kikuchi Takeo, born May 25, 1939) is a Japanese industrial and fashion designer. He is best known for his eponymous brand, "Takeo Kikuchi," (founded in 1984) has significantly influenced Japanese men's fashion. He designs such things as spectacle frames and chronographs in addition to clothing.
In 2004, he bowed out from designing his own self-named brand, entrusting creative direction to Taishi Nobukuni, a graduate of London's St. Martin's College. The rejuvenated label has regained some of its former glory with a funky mix of 1970s vintage looks and contemporary street styling a huge commercial and critical success.
