Go-Uda ( Japanese 後 宇 多 天皇 , Go-Uda-tennō ; * December 17, 1267 ; † July 16, 1324 ) was the 91st Tennō of Japan (March 6, 1274-27 November 1287). He was the father of Go-Nijō -tennō and Go-Daigo -tennō. His proper name was Yohito ( 世仁 ).

The line derived from him is called Daikakuji-tō ( 大 覚 寺 統 ), whereas the line Jimyōin-tō ( 持 明 院 統 ) comes from Fushimi -tennō.

During his reign the two Mongol invasion attempts fall . In the years 1274 and 1281, the military rulers, the shoguns , fended off the incursions in northwestern Kyushu . Twice the Mongolian fleet built by Koreans was destroyed by typhoons . According to legend, these winds were from the gods ( Kami sent), hence the name Kamikaze ( gods wind ), but the second storm is only called Kamikaze.

On November 27, 1287, the Shogun Prince Kameyama forced him to abdicate as Tenno. In 1307 Go-Uda was ordained and lived as a monk, first on Tō-ji , then on Daikaku-ji . In his time as a clergyman, he devoted himself primarily to the moral and financial support of the Shingon-shu .
