According to the description of "Risho-in Kechimyaku" of Daigo-ji Temple (collection of Kanazawa-Bunko), the name "Nichiren" appears twenty-fifth, and this position coincides with the name at the twenty-third position from Dainichinyorai; however, it is not clear whether "Nichiren" in "Risho-in Kechimyaku" and the founder are one and the same.
なお、醍醐寺の『理性院血脈』の記（金沢文庫蔵）には、確かに25番目に「日蓮」の名があり、大日如来とこの「日蓮」の間は二十三代となって符合するのだが、この『理性院血脈』の「日蓮」と宗祖が同一人物であるかどうかは定かではない。
