Biography

Akihito, the 125th Emperor of Japan, was born on December 23, 1933, and reigned from January 7, 1989, until his historic abdication on April 30, 2019, marking the end of the Heisei era.

Following the passing of his father, Emperor Showa (Hirohito),Akihito ascended to the revered Chrysanthemum Throne, a position he held with dignity and respect until his decision to step down due to his advanced age and declining health.

In a remarkable move, Akihito relinquished his imperial duties, becoming emperor emeritus, and paved the way for his eldest son, Naruhito, to assume the throne, continuing the traditional order of succession.
