Hirohito was the 124th Emperor of Japan, who reigned from 25 December, 1926 to 7 January, 1989, his death. He was enthroned on 10 November, 1928. He had previously been Sessh\u014d of Japan, from 25 November, 1921 to 25 December, 1926.<\/p>\n

He was the son of Yoshihito, Emperor Taish\u014d, who was Emperor of Japan, from 30 July, 1912 to 25 December, 1926, and of Lady<\/em> Sadako Kuj\u014d. He was married to Princess Nagako, of Kuni, with whom he had seven children, including Akihito<\/a>, who was Emperor of Japan, from 7 January, 1989 to 30 April, 2019. He was the paternal grandfather of Naruhito<\/a>, who has been Emperor of Japan, since 1 May, 2019; and the paternal great-grandfather of Aiko, Princess Toshi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hirohito’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced to his 49th great-grandfather, Emperor Keitai (c. 450\u2013534). However, descent prior to Keitai is unclear to modern historians, but is traditionally traced back patrilineally to Emperor Jimmu.<\/p>\n

Hirohito’s paternal grandfather was Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji (the son of Osahito, Emperor K\u014dmei, and of Lady<\/em> Yoshiko Nakayama). Mutsuhito was born in Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, Kyoto, Yamashiro Province, Japan, and was Emperor of Japan, from 3 February, 1867 to 30 July, 1912. Osahito was Emperor of Japan, from 10 March, 1846 to 30 January, 1867, and was the son of Ayahito, Emperor Nink\u014d, who was Emperor of Japan, from 7 May, 1817 to 21 February, 1846; and of Lady<\/em> Tsuneko Fujiwara. Yoshiko was the daughter of Nakayama Tadayasu and Lady<\/em> Matsuura Aiko.<\/p>\n

Hirohito’s paternal grandmother was Lady<\/em> Naruko Yanagihara (the daughter of Count<\/em> Takamitsu Yanagihara and Lady<\/em> Utano Hasegawa). Naruko was born in Kyoto, Japan. Yanagihara was the son of Takamitsu Yanagihara and Noriko Oogimachi Sanjo. He was an imperial chamberlain, who held the rank of ch\u016bnagon in the imperial household, and was later appointed dainagon. Hasegawa was the daughter of Hasegawa Yukiarawa.<\/p>\n

Hirohito’s maternal grandfather was Prince<\/em> Kuj\u014d Michitaka, of the Fujiwara Clan (the son of Prince<\/em> Kuj\u014d Hisatada, Regent of Japan, and of Lady<\/em> Tsuneko Karahashi). Hirohito’s grandfather Kuj\u014d was Minister of the Left, from 1867 to 1869, and Head of Kuj\u014d family, from 1859 to 1906. Hisatada was the son of Nij\u014d Harutaka, who was Minister of the Left, from 30 May, 1796 to 21 May, 1814; and of Higuchi Nobuko. Hisatada was adopted by his brother Suketsugu. Karahashi was the daughter of Matsuumein ZenYasushi.<\/p>\n

Hirohito’s maternal grandmother was Lady<\/em> Ikuko Noma (the daughter of Yorioki Noma and Lady<\/em> Kairi Yamokushi).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
