*''Japanese'': [[藤原]] 忠平 ''(Fujiwara no Tadahira)''
Fujiwara no Tadahira was a prominent [[Heian period]] courtier who served as ''[[sessho|sesshô]]'' from [[930]] to [[941]], and as ''[[kanpaku]]'' from that time until his death in [[949]]. His diary, ''[[Teishin koki|Teishin kôki]]'', is generally regarded as the oldest extant Japanese courtier diary.<ref>Thomas Conlan, ''From Sovereign to Symbol'', Oxford University Press (2011), 19.</ref>
A son of [[Fujiwara no Mototsune]] of the prominent [[Northern Fujiwara]] family, Tadahira succeeded his brother [[Fujiwara no Tokihira]] as head of the [[Dajokan|Dajôkan]] in [[913]], following the death of [[Udaijin]] [[Minamoto no Hikaru]]. He was named [[Sadaijin]] in [[924]], and regent (''sesshô'') in 930 upon the abdication of [[Emperor Daigo]] and accession of the three-year-old [[Emperor Suzaku]]; he then became ''kanpaku'' once Suzaku came of age in [[941]].
His sons included [[Fujiwara no Saneyori]] ([[900]]-[[970]]) and [[Fujiwara no Morosuke]] ([[908]]-[[960]]).
