Takenori also had other names (corresponding to Christian name for westerners) as 数正, 宗重, 真安, 宗孝 and so force, each of which was said to have been used by Takenori as an alias depending on the period; thus there is confusion as to whether certain usages refer to Takenori or one of his children.
名乗りは他にもあり、数正、宗重、真安、宗孝など、いずれも武則の別名として伝わっており年代によって違うことから、本人の名なのか、子なのか混乱もある。
