Akihito |
Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
Akihito (1933- )Emperor of Japan from 1989, succeeding his father Hirohito (Shōwa). His reign is called the Heisei (‘achievement of universal peace’) era. Unlike previous crown princes, Akihito was educated alongside commoners at the elite Gakushuin school and in 1959 he married Michiko Shoda (1934- ), the daughter of a flour-company president. Their three children, the Oxford University-educated Crown Prince Hiro, Prince Aya, and Princess Nori, were raised at Akihito's home instead of being reared by tutors and chamberlains in a separate imperial dormitory. |
