In this Japanese name, the family name is Abe.

Abe no Hirafu (阿部 比羅夫?) was a governor of Koshi Province. In 658, he fought against the aboriginal inhabitants of Japan, which were called emishi or ebisu, meaning "barbarian". In 661, he led an expedition to the Korean peninsula to help the allied kingdom of Baekje in the Battle of Baekgang.

Abe no Hirafu might be the ancestor of one or more of the Abe clans, as well as the Ando and Akita clans.
