  • The Koga family (久我家 Koga-ke) is a branch of the Minamoto clan. The Koga family was one of the kuge (court nobility) families of Japan, achieving the rank of seigake. During the Meiji Restoration, the head of the Koga family was given the title of marquis (侯爵 kōshaku) as part of the kazoku, the hereditary peerage that combined the kuge and the daimyo. One of the responsibilities of the Koga family was to be the protectors of the courtesan guild at court . The Kamon of the Koga is an artistic representation of the roxanne Autumn Bellflower. Famous Japanese actress Yoshiko Kuga (born as Haruko Koga) was disowned by her grandfather for her career choice, but she was eventually accepted back into the family. The kanji characters of the name have the meanings: 久 (long time) 我 (I). "Koga" is the on'yomi (Sino-Japanese reading) of the kanji while "hisashī ware" would be the kun'yomi (native Japanese reading). But actually 久我 is the ateji (当て字; phonetic-equivalent cv characters) for 陸 (koga; an obsolete word for land). The family name has its origin that Minamoto no Masazane, who was later considered as the originator of the Koga family, had a villa in Koga (today it belongs to Fushimi district, Kyoto City), and was called Koga-Daijō-Daijin. (Daijō-Daijin means a kind of minister. ) There is still a Shinto shrine named Koga jinja (久我神社) in Fushimi district, Kyoto City. The present master, Tomomichi Koga (久我誠通), is the owner of an art salon in Tokyo. There is also a surname Kuga(久我), but this is popular among the common people.
  • Die Familie Koga ist ein Zweig des Minamoto-Clans. Die Koga waren eine der Familien der Kuge (des Hofadels) Japans und erlangten den Rang von Seigake. Während der Meiji-Restauration wurde dem Haupt der Familie der Titel Markgraf zuerkannt und er damit Teil des Kazoku, des niederen Erbadels, in dem die Kuge und Daimyō aufgingen. Das Kamon der Koga ist eine stilisierte Herbstenzianart (Gentiana scabra var. buergeri). Die der Familie entstammende berühmte japanische Schauspielerin Kuga Yoshiko (geboren als Koga Haruko) wurde wegen ihrer Berufswahl durch ihren Großvater enterbt, später aber wieder in die Familie aufgenommen.
