Akihito (明仁, Japanese: [akiçito]; English pronunciation; born 23 December 1933) was the 125th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession. He succeeded to the Chrysanthemum Throne upon the death of his father Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito) on 7 January 1989. The Japanese government announced in December 2017 that Akihito would abdicate on 30 April 2019 due to his age and declining health.[1] He is succeeded by his elder son Emperor Naruhito.

Name

[edit]

In Japan, the Emperor is never referred to by his given name, but rather is referred to as "His Majesty the Emperor" (天皇陛下, Tennō Heika) which may be shortened to His Majesty (陛下, Heika).[2] In writing, the Emperor is also referred to formally as "The Reigning Emperor" (今上天皇, Kinjō Tennō). The Era of Akihito's reign bears the name "Heisei" (平成), and according to custom he will be renamed Emperor Heisei (平成天皇, Heisei Tennō, see "posthumous name") by order of the Cabinet after his death. Upon Akihito's abdication on 30 April 2019, he received the title of Jōkō (Retired Emperor) (上皇, Emperor Emeritus), an abbreviation of Daijō Tennō (太上天皇, Retired Emperor), and a new Era, Reiwa (令和), was established when his son, Emperor Naruhito, acceded to the throne.[3][4]

Japanese imperial family tree

[edit]

The following is a family tree of the Emperors of Japan, from the legendary Emperor Jimmu to the present day.

Modern scholars have come to question the existence of at least the first nine Emperors; Kōgen's descendant, Emperor Sujin (98 BC – 30 BC?), is the first for which many agree that he might have actually existed.[7] These monarchs are regarded by historians as "legendary emperors", since there are insufficient material available for further verification and study.[8]

The reign of Emperor Kinmei (c. 509 – 571 AD), the 29th Emperor,[9] is the first for which the contemporary historiography is able to assign verifiable dates.[10] However, the conventionally accepted names and dates of the early Emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kanmu (737–806), the 50th sovereign of the Yamato dynasty.[11]
