Grammar

A word which seems unnecessary

In this Japanese name, the family name is Fujiwara.
Fujiwara clan, descending from the Nakatomi clan and through him Ame-no-Koyane-no-Mikoto, was a powerful family of regents in Japan.
<Source: Fujiwara clan in WIKIPEDIA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujiwara_clan>
I'd like to know why there is "him" before "Ame-no-Koyane-no-Mikoto."
Thank you in advance for yourself.

The pronoun alone is not the problem; there seems to be confusion in both grammar structure and fact; perhaps it is an editing mistake. Here are some facts that need to be pieced in: Ama-no-Koyane-no-mikoto is a kami, a male deity of the Japanese religion of Shinto. He is considered to be an ancestor of the the Nakatomi and Fujiwara clan.
