In this Japanese name, the surname is Kaya.

Kaya Harukata (加屋 霽堅; 1836-1876) was a Japanese samurai, Shinto priest, and adherent of kokugaku. His courtesy name was initially Tatetsura (楯列), but he deferentially changed it to Tateyuki (楯行) after realizing the original characters were present in the name of Empress Jingū's mausoleum. His surname is sometimes rendered as Kaya (昆陽).
