His sons include Motomichi and wives include a daughter of Fujiwara no Tadataka and that of Taira no Kiyomori. At age of 16 he assumed the position of kampaku, regent, to Emperor Nijō, becoming a head of Fujiwara family. He died at age of 24, a year after he took the position of sesshō, regent, to Emperor Rokujō. His ancestry later came to be known as Konoe family, one of the Five sessho family.
