Remarks

Strictly speaking, the "heavenly majesties" are only from Empress Jitō as such, d. H. Tennō ( 天皇 ) to denote, before should be spoken of the "rulers of Wa ". This country name was also changed to Nippon at the end of the sixth century .

The emperors of the north court were sometimes more powerful and more recognized during their lifetime than their contemporaries of the south court, but were not in possession of the throne insignia of Japan , which is why they are now considered illegitimate Tennō.

The last five Tennō are officially named in Japan after the name of their reign. The reign of the current Tennō, Naruhito , is the Reiwa era . In Japan, the incumbent Tennō himself is usually neither referred to by his first name nor by his era name, but rather as Tennō Heika ( 天皇 陛下 , dt. "Imperial Majesty").
