Fujiwara no Takanaga

Fujiwara no Takanaga was a late-Heian court noble and the third son of Minister of the Left Fujiwara no Yorinaga. He rose quickly through the Palace Guards, becoming a chamberlain in 1151 and reaching senior fourth rank in 1153.

When his father was killed on Sutoku's side in the Hōgen Disturbance of 1156, Takanaga was stripped of office and exiled to Izu. He never returned to the capital and died in exile; tradition holds that his grandson settled in Ōsumi and founded the Hishikari clan.
