Ancestry
As a patrilineal descendant of the Konoe family, Miyagawa is a nephew of former Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, and is a first cousin once removed of both the former prime minister Hosokawa Morihiro and his brother Tadateru Konoe. By virtue of his descent from the Konoe family, he is related to the Japanese imperial family several times over. Also, as a great-great-grandson of Shimazu Narinobu, the ninth Lord of the Satsuma Domain, he is a third cousin once removed of the late Empress Kōjun and thereby a third cousin twice removed of the present Emperor, Akihito, and his siblings.
