Taika Reform
The descendants of the Imperial family were given "Omi" and the descendants of gods were given "Muraji", and out of these, the most influential families were given "Ōomi" and "Ōmuraji". During the Taika Reform, these were however abolished, and the kabane was no longer tied to a specific occupation or political position, but simply began to signify a family's aristocratic lineage and social status. In 684, the traditional "kabane" system was reformed into an eight-"kabane" system consisting of "Mahito", "Ason", "Sukune", "Imiki", "Michinoshi", "Omi", "Muraji", "Inagi".
