Kaiser / Tennou 天皇
Tenno(The Emperor)
In the Constitution of Japan, it is stipulated that "the Emperor shall be the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people." The current tenno, Akihito, is the 125th tenno, counting from Jinmu Tenno, who was the first to be enthroned in 660 B.C.. In this span, the role of tenno was at times one of real power, at times only the nominal sovereign. In the Meiji Constitution (the Great Japan Imperial Constitution) which was proclaimed in 1889 (Meiji 22), tenno was made the chief of state with political and military power; but he lost that power with the Constitution of Japan which went into effect following the defeat in the Second World War. From then until now, tenno exists as a symbol without function in the administration of government and only carries out affairs of state as national ceremonies.
