Komatsu-no-miya

Prince Yoshiaki was given the title of komatsu-no-miya and changed his first name to Akihito.

Since he died without an heir, the Komatsu-no-miya reverted to Higashifushimi-no-miya[broken anchor] (東伏見宮家) in 1903.

In 1931, Emperor Hirohito directed his brother-in-law, Prince Kuni Kunihide, to leave Imperial Family status and become Count Higashifushimi Kunihide (hakushaku under the kazoku peerage system), to prevent the Higashifushimi name from extinction.

Dowager Princess Higashifushimi Kaneko became a commoner on 14 October 1947.
