In this Japanese name, the family name is "Soga".
Soga no Iruka (蘇我 入鹿, died July 10, 645) was a statesman in the Asuka Period of Japan.
He was a son of Soga no Emishi. He was assassinated by Prince Naka-no-Ōe (see: Isshi Incident) though he tried to murder Prince Yamashiro, and to rule the emperor family. Emishi also committed suicide soon after his son's death, and the main branch of the Soga clan went extinct.
