Takano no Niigasa

Prince Junda, the second son of King Muryeong of Baekje, was born in Japan and eventually became the ancestor of later known to be Yamato clan.

Her mother was known to be Haji no Sukune Maimo (土師宿禰 真妹), whose surname is later, also known be Oe no Asomi (大枝朝臣).

When Empress Kōken died in 770, Shirakabe was appointed her successor and acceded to the throne as Emperor Kōnin.

The sons of Niigasa had not been considered to be successors until 772, when the Empress (Inoe) was suddenly stripped of her rank following accusations that she had cursed the Emperor.

[5] According to the Shoku Nihongi, Niigasa (720–790) is a descendant of Prince Junda, son of Muryeong, who died in Japan in 513 (Nihon Shoki Chapter 17).
