contents We prove that the backward shift operator on $H^4$ has norm equal to $\sqrt[4]φ$, with $φ= \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$. Furthermore, we characterize all extremal functions; they are precisely the functions of the form \[ f(z) = μ\left( I(z) - \sqrt{\frac{1}{2φ}}\right), \] where $μ\in \mathbb{C}$ and $I$ is an inner function with $I(0) = \sqrt{\fracφ{2}}$.
