Les,
Toyohara Kunichika seems to have had two pupils named Chikayoshi. This may be confusing if you don't read Japanese, but their names were written with different kanji characters for "yoshi":
There's not much information available on any of them, though. No.1 seems to have been active in the 1860s, and no. 2 from about 1877 to 1880. The latter, by the way, was one of the few female ukiyo-e artists.
Best regards,
Hans Olof
