Norimichi Fujiwara was born in 996. Fujiwara no Norimichi, fifth son of Michinaga. His mother was Minamoto no Rinshi, daughter of Minamoto no Masanobu. Regent Yorimichi, Empress Shōshi (consort of Emperor Ichijō), Empress Kenshi (consort of Emperor Sanjō) were his brother and sisters from the same mother.
He was the Minister of the Left before he was appointed Kampaku (Adviser to the Emperor) in 1068. Emperor Gosanjo decreed that any member of the Fujiwara Family should return after completing one term of the post of provincial governor to which he is designated, with a view to curbing the influence of the family. This brought a head-on collision between the emperor and the Fujiwaras. Norimichi ordered all Fujiwaras in the Court to resign en masse and the emperor had to rescind his decree. Was appointed Dajo Daijm (Prime Minister) in 1070.
