On the other hand, there is a view that the author was somebody who supported the Emperor Kameyama and his descendants, Daikakuji-to (Imperial lineage starting with the Emperor Kameyama), because the author did not pay much attention to the Emperor Fushimi (a son of the Emperor Gofukakusa; after the enthronement of the Crown Prince of the Emperor Kameyama, he was made a new Crown Prince by the retired Emperor Gofukakusa), although the author knew that he would be an Emperor later.
また、のちに伏見天皇となる伏見天皇の存在（後深草天皇の子、亀山天皇の皇太子（後宇多天皇）の即位後、後深草上皇の働きかけで皇太子に立てられた）を知りながら、その存在を過小に書いていることから、著者を亀山天皇とその子孫である大覚寺統を支持していたと見る向きもある。
