Soga no Kitashihime

Soga no Kitashihime was a daughter of the Soga clan leader Soga no Iname and a consort of Emperor Kinmei. She bore him seven sons and six daughters, among them Emperor Yōmei and Princess Nukatabe, who reigned as Empress Suiko, Japan's first empress regnant.

After her death she received the title kōtaifujin, and in 612 a grand state funeral re-interred her beside Emperor Kinmei in his Hinokuma tumulus, a ceremony that displayed the Soga clan's power.
