Bidatsu's first empress, Hirohime, died in the fifth year of his reign. To replace her, he elevated one of his consorts, Princess Nukatabe, to the rank of empress. Nukatabe was his half-sister by their father Kinmei. Later she ascended to the throne in her own right and is today known as [[Empress Suiko]].

He was succeeded first by one of his brothers, [[Emperor Yōmei]], then by another, [[Emperor Sushun]], and then Empress Suiko, his sister and wife, before his grandson, [[Emperor Jomei]], eventually took the throne.
