Prince Oshisaka no Hikohito no Ōe

Prince Oshisaka no Hikohito no Ōe, eldest son of Emperor Bidatsu by Princess Hirohime, unusually carried no Soga blood among Emperor Kinmei's descendants, making him the leading non-Soga prince. He held an independent base through the Osakabe group at Mimata Palace, far from the capital.

After Emperor Yōmei's death in 587 he was a succession candidate, but Soga-backed princes prevailed and he vanishes from the chronicles, perhaps killed around 600. His sons included the future Emperor Jomei and Prince Chinu, ancestors of later emperors.
