Minamoto no Akifusa

Minamoto no Akifusa (1037–1094) was a late-Heian court noble and poet of the Murakami Genji, the second son of right minister Minamoto no Morofusa. After his daughter Kenshi, adopted into the regent house, was made empress to Emperor Shirakawa in 1074, he was appointed right minister in 1083.

When Kenshi's son ascended as Emperor Horikawa in 1087, Akifusa became the emperor's maternal grandfather. He took junior first rank and died in 1094, aged fifty-eight.
