Takatsukasa Sukehira

Takatsukasa Sukehira (鷹司 輔平, March 17, 1738 – February 8, 1813), adopted son of Mototeru, was a kugyō or Japanese court noble of the Edo period (1603–1868). He held a regent position kampaku from 1787-1791. Masahiro was his son who he had with a daughter of the eighth head of Chōshū Domain Mori Shigetaka. Additionally, he was a grandson of Emperor Higashiyama and thus a paternal uncle of Emperor Kōkaku.

In this Japanese name, the surname is Takatsukasa.

Due to the frequent adoption between families of Fujiwara clan, Sukehira had modern agnatic descendants under the family names Tokudaiji (德大寺), Kikutei (菊亭), Hanazono (華園), Kajino (梶野), Takachiho (高千穗), Nakanoin (中院), Sumitomo (住友), Muromachi (室町), Yamamoto (山本), Kitakawara (北河原), Senshū (千秋).
