•  Fujiwara no Mototsune

  Fujiwara no Mototsune continued the trend begun by Yoshifusa of monopolizing the position of regent to the Japanese emperor. He was third son of Fujiwara no Nagara, brother of Yoshifusa, and Fujiwara no Otoharu (藤原乙春), daughter of Fujiwara no Tsugutada. He was adopted by Yoshifusa who had no sons, and Mototsune followed in Yoshifusa's footsteps. After the emperor had reached his maturity, however, Mototsune invented the position of kampaku regent for himself.

•  Fujiwara no Michinaga

  Fujiwara no Michinaga represents the highpoint of the Fujiwara regents' control over the government of Japan. Michinaga exerted de facto reign over Japan in the early 11th century. This can be seen from the fact that he was father to four (non-reigning) empresses, uncle to two emperors and grandfather to another three. He was the fourth or fifth son of Fujiwara no Kaneie by his wife Tokihime, daughter of Fujiwara no Nakamasa.
