Emperor Tsuruhito

Reigning Emperor of Japan. Son and successor of Emperor Saigo, brother of Prince Taremono, father of Crown Prince Kirihito, and uncle of Prince Nobuhito.

As Emperor, Tsuruhito is never reffered to as his given name by his subjects. He is reffered to as "His Majesty, The Emperor" or less formally "His Majesty" or "Emperor."

Background
Born in the Imperial Palace in New Edo, Tsuruhito is the son of the late Emperor Yorohito (now known as Saigo), and as such was the Heir of the Chrysanthemum Throne since the day he was born. Tsuruhito attended middle and high school Ginza College Prep before graduating in 2002 with a degree in Political Science from Edo University.

His only son, Kirihito, was born in 2011. In 2019, his father Yorohito abdicated his throne, and he was coronated Emperor of Japan on 1 January 2020, his fortieth birthday. Emperor Yorohito died of lung cancer in 2022.

Tsuruhito is best known for his push to change the legislature to open Japan's border's and allow the outside world to see the inside of their island home. This political movement has created quite a stir amongst the residents of Japan, including the Shogun, Daigoro Kabutotsu.
