The Current Emperor:
The current Emperor was born on March 17, 1971 (age: 37) Emperor Mishihito IV and his Empress. When the young Crown Prince Yoshihito was 7 his father suffered a stroke, and died 2 weeks after. On December 19 1978, the 7 year old Crown Prince was enthroned as Emperor of Kazoku. His Father, a strict conservative ensured that the crown Prince would be prepared for the throne.
The Young Emperors first years were traditional in the ways of Kazoku, when he was 17 he met the Emperor of Natopia, the Emperors became close friends, Emperor of Natopia introduced the Emperor a lot of things including auto racing, Ice Hockey (the Emperors favorite sport) and other modern ideas The Emperor of Natopia even gave him the Christian nickname of Philip. As the Emperor entered his 20s he became a playboy monarch within his Palace, surrounded by friends, family and servants but outside the palace his subjects saw him as their God-Emperor.
Even with his modern life the Emperor is still must be a traditional monarch, like the Emperors before him. Now in his late thirties the emperor’s playboy lifestyle has been toned down. The Emperor is still worshiped by his people and still runs his country as his forefathers did.
