Traditional Narrative
Before Jomei's ascension to the Chrysanthemum Throne, his personal name (imina) was Tamura (田村?) or Prince Tamura (田村皇子, Tamura-no-Ōji?). As emperor, his name would have been Okinagatarashi Hironuka no mikoto.
He was a grandson of Emperor Bidatsu both paternally and maternally. His father was Prince Oshisakanohikohito-no-Ōe, his mother was Princess Nukate-hime, who was a younger sister of his father.
