* Born: 614
* Died: 669
* Other names: Nakatomi Kamatari (中臣 鎌足)
* Japanese: 藤原 鎌足
* Sons: [[Fujiwara Fuhito]]
==History==
Originally Nakatomi Kamatari, he was granted the family name ''Fujiwara'' as a reward for his service to the throne, including his involvement in the assassination of the [[Soga clan|Soga]] chieftain in [[645]]. After his death in 669, the [[Fujiwara clan]] may have faded into the annals of history if not for his son, Fujiwara Fuhito, and his descendants, who eventually rose to become the most powerful family in the [[Heian Period]], often controlling the throne as regents ([[sessho]]) or [[kampaku]], as well as holding other highly placed positions on the [[Daijokan]] (Council of State).
