  • Takaakira ( 高明 ; 914–982) was the 17th son of Emperor Daigo and Minamoto no Chikako ( 源 周 子 ). It was he who was named Minamoto in 920. He became Sangi (Councilor) in 939, Dainagon (Upper Cabinet Councilor) in 953 , Udaijin (Chancellor on the right) in 966, and Sadaijin (on the left) in 967 . He married a daughter of Fujiwara no Morosuke . Her daughter later became the wife of Prince Tamehira. - In 969 he was accused by Minamoto no Mitsunaka of wanting , together with Tachibana no Shigenobu and other emperors, to overthrow Reizei and to replace him with his brother Tamehira, which was probably a plot by the Fujiwara to further secure their power at court ( 安和 の の Anna no hen , "Anna incident"). Thereupon Takaakira with the title Dazai no gon-no-sotsu (Extraordinary Governor General of Dazaifu ) was sent to Tsukushi ( Kyushu ) into exile. After two years he was brought back by Emperor En'yū . Takaakira is also known as Nishi-no-miya no Sadaijin. He was literary and left an autobiography.
  • Toshikata ( 俊賢 ; 960-1027), Takaaki's son, was Gon-Dainagon (extraordinary cabinet councilor) in 1017. He is one of the Shi-Nagon ( 四 納 言 ), one of the four famous poets of the 11th century, who all held the post of (Gon-) Dainagon.
  • Takakuni ( 隆 国 ; 1004-1077), a son of Toshikatas, was 1067 Gon-Dainagon. He retired to Uji and was therefore also called Uji no dainagon, where he collected stories ( setsuwa ) from travelers and in the now lost work Uji Dainagon Monogatari ( 宇 治 大 納 言 物語 ), which had a great influence on collections similar to the konjaku Monogatarishū ( 今昔 物語 集 ), Kohon Setsuwashū ( 古 本 説話 集 ), Yotsugi Monogatari ( 世 継 物語 ) and Uji Shūi Monogatari ( 宇 治 拾遺 物語 ).
  • Toshiaki ( 俊明 ; 1044-1114), Takakuni's son, was the first to receive the title of Betto at the imperial court in 1087 at the court of the former emperor Shirakawa . He was also Dainagon and Mimbu-kyō (Minister of the Interior).
  • Hiromasa ( 博雅 ; 918–980) was a grandson of Emperor Daigo and is known as a gakaku musician. Because he wanted lessons from the famous Semimaru ( 蝉 丸 ), he went to his house in the evening for three years without being let in. Impressed by this perseverance, Semimaru finally accepted him. Hiromasa is also known under the name Hakuga no Sammi ( 博雅 三位 ).
