Fujiwara no Yoshikado

Fujiwara no Yoshikado was an early Heian courtier of the Northern Fujiwara, the sixth son of Sadaijin Fujiwara no Fuyutsugu. Unlike his brothers he never rose above senior sixth rank, serving as an Udoneri, and he died young soon after his sons Toshimoto and Takafuji were born.

The Konjaku Monogatari recounts that Takafuji was left fatherless as a child; Takafuji only received junior fifth rank in 868. Yoshikado was ancestor of the Kajuji lineage, and Murasaki Shikibu descended from his son Toshimoto.
