Tachibana no-Shigenobu was born circa 960.
Tachibana was originally a junior secretary attached to the Imperial Court, during the time the Fujiwara family rose to power. Fujiwara was a despot so Shigenobu conspired with Mitsunaka Minamoto, Chiharu Fujiwara and others to end the rule of Fujiwara and put Prince Tamehira in power. Mitsunaka, however, revealed the plot to Fujiwara and Shigenobu Was exiled to Tosa (Kochi Prefecture). This incident is known as the Anna-no-Hen.
