In this Japanese name, the family name is "Fujiwara".
Fujiwara no Nakamaro (藤原 仲麻呂, 706 - October 21, 764), later also given the name of Emi no Oshikatsu (恵美 押勝) by Emperor Kōnin, was an aristocrat (kuge) and poet of Nara period in Japan. His father was Fujiwara no Muchimaro, founder of Nanke lineage of Fujiwara clan.
