Naganobu Kano was a Japanese painter in the 18th and the 19th centuries, who was the eighth head of the Kobikicho-Kano school, one of the most prestigious clans branching off from the original Kano school.

Naganobu was the first son of Korenobu Kano (refer to #720), and succeeded to his father's position. He incorporated the techniques of Chinese pictures and developed new tastes of Japanese paintings.
