His main wife was his older sister, Mama Uqllu, also the mother of his son and successor Sinchi Ruq'a.

Even though his figure is mentioned in several chronicles, his actual existence remains uncertain.

His wife's name is given as Mama Tankariy Yachiy, or Tacucaray, or Mama Cuca.

His other children were Tarco Huaman, Apu Cunti Mayta, Queco Avcaylli, and Rocca Yupanqui.

Mayta's mother was Mama Cora Ocllo Coya. She died in Cuzco

Cápac Yupanqui (Quechua Qhapaq Yupanki Inka, "splendid accountant Inca") (c. 1320 – c. 1350) was the fifth Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cusco (beginning around CE 1320) and the last of the Hurin dynasty.

Yupanqui was a son and successor of Mayta Cápac while his elder brother Cunti Mayta became high priest.

His chief wife was Mama Cusi Hilpay (or Qorihillpay or Ccuri-hilpay), the daughter of the lord of Anta, previously a great enemy of the Incas.

His son with a woman called Cusi Chimbo, founder of the Hanan dynasty, was Inca Roca.

Capac Yupanqui (From quechua Qhapaq Yupanki), was the brother of the Inca emperor Pachacuti and an Inca general.

He was the son of Viracocha Inca and Mama Runtu.

Capac Yupanqui was sent by Pachacuti to the central Peruvian coast in order to conquer the Chincha.
