Talk:Succession to the Japanese throne

Incomplete diagram

The daughters of Hirohito, Akihito and Mikasa are missing in the genealogy diagram. This is inconsistent with the lower lines of the diagram, which include also female issue. And why is deceased Prince Takamado listed there, unlike the deceased sons of Emperor Taisho? It would be good if someone knowledgable could make the diagram internally consistent. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 18:53, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Partially fixed myself. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 22:17, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Taisho and Showa

Although the names are not generally used in Japan, would it be worth (for the benefit of non-Japanese readers) adding the names Yoshihito and Hirohito in brackets after the official names of the two former emperors? Thoughts? Grutness...wha? 01:06, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Princesses

Why are females even listed ? They don't have any succession rights and probably won't unless another succession crisis occurs. --Killuminator (talk) 19:09, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Well, if it happened once, it could certainly happen again...but I don't know why they're listed. Maybe just to show the whole family tree? Double sharp (talk) 05:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

There was talk of few years ago of changing the line of succession a few years ago. Maybe just in case they go through with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:300:36C8:921:E4AE:9894:D07D (talk) 21:31, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I have amended the list because the list is the PRESENT line of succession which follows the line of succession as it is now under the current household law not the line of succession we imagine it is. Princesses cannot succeed to the throne unless the law is changed. Prince Fumihito will succeed his brother the emperor and he will be succeeded by his son Prince Hisahito. Aiko will probably marry a commoner and cease to be a member of the imperial household. Aetheling1125 (talk) 08:48, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

listing dead people

In order to be encyclopedic, we HAVE to have the death dates of dead people. I know many were alive in 1947, but they are dead NOW and forever. This is not something that can change and leaving out the death dates gives the impression that they are still alive. Let's make things better, not just revert things automatically without thinking Arglebargle79 (talk) 12:22, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
