== Birth==
[[File:Princess Aiko three-month-old.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Aiko, three months after her birth, 2002]]
Princess Aiko was born on 1 December 2001 at 2:43 PM in the Imperial Household Agency Hospital in [[Tokyo Imperial Palace]],
the first child and only daughter of the then-Crown Prince and Crown Princess, Naruhito and Masako.<ref>{{cite news|title=Girl Born to Japan's Princess|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/01/world/girl-born-to-japan-s-princess.html|newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=1 December 2001|access-date=16 November 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Japan: A Name For The Royal Baby|last1=French |first1=Howard W.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/08/world/world-briefing-asia-japan-a-name-for-the-royal-baby.html|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=8 December 2001|access-date=16 November 2011}}</ref>
In a break with tradition, the name of the princess was chosen by her parents, instead of by the Emperor. It was selected from clause 56 of Li Lou II, one of the teachings of the [[Chinese philosophy|Chinese philosopher]] [[Mencius]]. Aiko, the princess's personal name, is written with the [[kanji]] characters for {{nihongo|'love'|愛}} and {{nihongo|'child'|子}} and means "a person who loves others".<ref name="aikoname">Colin Joyce (2001-12-08).

==Succession to the throne==
[[File:Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko with the Imperial Family (November 2013).jpg|thumb|Princess Aiko (standing, center) with the Imperial Family (November 2013)]]
The [[Imperial Household Law]] of 1947 abolished the Japanese nobility; under provisions of this law, the imperial family was streamlined to the descendants of [[Emperor Taishō]].<ref name="jt2007">[http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20070327i1.html "Life in the Cloudy Imperial Fishbowl,"] ''[[The Japan Times]]''. 27 March 2007.</ref> The laws of succession in Japan prevent inheritance by or through women.
===Debate===
The birth of Princess Aiko sparked debate in Japan about whether the [[Imperial Household Law]] of 1947 should be changed from the current system of [[agnatic primogeniture]] to [[absolute primogeniture]], which would allow a woman, as firstborn, to inherit the [[Chrysanthemum Throne]] ahead of a younger brother or male cousin. Although Imperial chronologies include eight empresses regnant in the course of Japanese history, their successors were always selected from amongst the members of the paternal Imperial bloodline, which is why some conservative scholars argue that the women's reigns were temporary and that male-only succession tradition must be maintained in the 21st century.<ref name="jt2007"/> Though [[Empress Genmei]] was followed on the throne by her daughter, [[Empress Genshō]],<ref>Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan,'' p. 56.</ref> Genshō's father, [[Prince Kusakabe]], was also a member of the imperial dynasty, as the son of [[Emperor Tenmu]], and therefore Genshō was a patrilineal descendant of the imperial bloodline. In addition, Empress Genshō herself was succeeded by her brother's son, thus keeping the throne in the same agnatic line; both Genshō and Genmei, as well as all other empresses regnant and emperors, belonged to the same [[patriline]].
A government-appointed panel of experts submitted a report on 25 October 2005, recommending that the Imperial succession law be amended to permit absolute primogeniture. On 20 January 2006, [[Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]] [[Junichiro Koizumi]] used part of his annual keynote speech to address the controversy when he pledged to submit a bill to the [[National Diet|Diet]] letting women ascend to the throne in order that the Imperial throne be continued into the future in a stable manner. Koizumi did not announce a timing for the legislation to be introduced nor did he provide details about the content, but he did note that it would be in line with the conclusions of the 2005 government panel.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4630464.stm | work=BBC News | title=Japan bill to let women on throne | date=January 20, 2006 | access-date=May 5, 2010}}</ref>
===Birth of male cousin===
{{see also|Japanese succession debate}}
Proposals to replace agnatic primogeniture were shelved temporarily after it was announced in February 2006 that the-then Crown Prince's younger brother, [[Fumihito, Prince Akishino]], and his wife, [[Kiko, Princess Akishino]], were expecting their third child. On 6 September 2006, Princess Kiko gave birth to a son, [[Prince Hisahito of Akishino|Hisahito]], who was third in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne at the time of the birth under the current law, after his uncle, the then-Crown Prince, and his father, Prince Akishino.<ref>{{cite news|title=Japan princess gives birth to boy|work=[[BBC News]]|date=6 September 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/5316266.stm|access-date=6 September 2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Walsh|first1=Bryan|date=5 September 2006|title=Japan Celebrates: It's a Boy!|journal=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |url=http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1531895,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070513055227/http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1531895,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 13, 2007|access-date=16 November 2011}}.</ref><ref>{{cite news|title= Japan's Imperial Family: Life in the Cloudy Imperial Fishbowl|last1=Yoshida|first1=Reiji |url=http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20070327i1.html|newspaper=[[The Japan Times]]|date=27 March 2007|agency=FYI (weekly column)|access-date=16 November 2011}}</ref> The prince's birth provided the first male heir to be born in the imperial family in 41 years. On 3 January 2007, Prime Minister [[Shinzō Abe]] announced that he would drop the proposal to alter the Imperial Household Law.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.usatoday.com/money/world/2007-01-03-japan-female-monarch_x.htm |title=Report: Japan to drop plan to allow female monarch |work=[[USA Today]] |date=January 3, 2007 |publisher=[[Gannett Company|Gannett]] |location=[[McLean, VA]] |issn=0734-7456 |agency=The Associated Press |access-date=October 20, 2011}}</ref> Therefore, at this time, it seems unlikely that the succession laws will be changed to allow Princess Aiko to ascend the throne.

==Succession to the throne==
[[File:Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko with the Imperial Family (November 2013).jpg|thumb|Princess Aiko (standing, center) with the Imperial Family (November 2013)]]
The [[Imperial Household Law]] of 1947 abolished the Japanese nobility; under provisions of this law, the imperial family was streamlined to the descendants of [[Emperor Taishō]].<ref name="jt2007">[http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20070327i1.html "Life in the Cloudy Imperial Fishbowl,"] ''[[The Japan Times]]''. 27 March 2007.</ref> The laws of succession in Japan prevent inheritance by or through women.
===Debate===
The birth of Princess Aiko sparked debate in Japan about whether the [[Imperial Household Law]] of 1947 should be changed from the current system of [[agnatic primogeniture]] to [[absolute primogeniture]], which would allow a woman, as firstborn, to inherit the [[Chrysanthemum Throne]] ahead of a younger brother or male cousin. Although Imperial chronologies include eight empresses regnant in the course of Japanese history, their successors were always selected from amongst the members of the paternal Imperial bloodline, which is why some conservative scholars argue that the women's reigns were temporary and that male-only succession tradition must be maintained in the 21st century.<ref name="jt2007"/> Though [[Empress Genmei]] was followed on the throne by her daughter, [[Empress Genshō]],<ref>Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan,'' p. 56.</ref> Genshō's father, [[Prince Kusakabe]], was also a member of the imperial dynasty, as the son of [[Emperor Tenmu]], and therefore Genshō was a patrilineal descendant of the imperial bloodline. In addition, Empress Genshō herself was succeeded by her brother's son, thus keeping the throne in the same agnatic line; both Genshō and Genmei, as well as all other empresses regnant and emperors, belonged to the same [[patriline]].
A government-appointed panel of experts submitted a report on 25 October 2005, recommending that the Imperial succession law be amended to permit absolute primogeniture. On 20 January 2006, [[Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]] [[Junichiro Koizumi]] used part of his annual keynote speech to address the controversy when he pledged to submit a bill to the [[National Diet|Diet]] letting women ascend to the throne in order that the Imperial throne be continued into the future in a stable manner. Koizumi did not announce a timing for the legislation to be introduced nor did he provide details about the content, but he did note that it would be in line with the conclusions of the 2005 government panel.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4630464.stm | work=BBC News | title=Japan bill to let women on throne | date=January 20, 2006 | access-date=May 5, 2010}}</ref>
===Birth of male cousin===

Proposals to replace agnatic primogeniture were shelved temporarily after it was announced in February 2006 that the-then Crown Prince's younger brother, [[Fumihito, Prince Akishino]], and his wife, [[Kiko, Princess Akishino]], were expecting their third child. On 6 September 2006, Princess Kiko gave birth to a son, [[Prince Hisahito of Akishino|Hisahito]], who was third in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne at the time of the birth under the current law, after his uncle, the then-Crown Prince, and his father, Prince Akishino.<ref>{{cite news|title=Japan princess gives birth to boy|work=[[BBC News]]|date=6 September 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/5316266.stm|access-date=6 September 2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Walsh|first1=Bryan|date=5 September 2006|title=Japan Celebrates: It's a Boy!|journal=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |url=http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1531895,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070513055227/http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1531895,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 13, 2007|access-date=16 November 2011}}.</ref><ref>{{cite news|title= Japan's Imperial Family: Life in the Cloudy Imperial Fishbowl|last1=Yoshida|first1=Reiji |url=http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20070327i1.html|newspaper=[[The Japan Times]]|date=27 March 2007|agency=FYI (weekly column)|access-date=16 November 2011}}</ref> The prince's birth provided the first male heir to be born in the imperial family in 41 years. On 3 January 2007, Prime Minister [[Shinzō Abe]] announced that he would drop the proposal to alter the Imperial Household Law.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.usatoday.com/money/world/2007-01-03-japan-female-monarch_x.htm |title=Report: Japan to drop plan to allow female monarch |work=[[USA Today]] |date=January 3, 2007 |publisher=[[Gannett Company|Gannett]] |location=[[McLean, VA]] |issn=0734-7456 |agency=The Associated Press |access-date=October 20, 2011}}</ref> Therefore, at this time, it seems unlikely that the succession laws will be changed to allow Princess Aiko to ascend the throne.

<p>The <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Imperial_Household_Law" title="Imperial Household Law">Imperial Household Law</a> of 1947 abolished the Japanese nobility; under provisions of this law, the imperial family was streamlined to the descendants of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Emperor_Taish%C5%8D" title="Emperor Taishō">Emperor Taishō</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-jt2007_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jt2007-20">[20]</a></sup> The laws of succession in Japan prevent inheritance by or through women.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Debate">Debate</span></h3>
<p>The birth of Princess Aiko sparked debate in Japan about whether the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Imperial_Household_Law" title="Imperial Household Law">Imperial Household Law</a> of 1947 should be changed from the current system of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Agnatic_primogeniture" class="mw-redirect" title="Agnatic primogeniture">agnatic primogeniture</a> to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Absolute_primogeniture" class="mw-redirect" title="Absolute primogeniture">absolute primogeniture</a>, which would allow a woman, as firstborn, to inherit the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Chrysanthemum_Throne" title="Chrysanthemum Throne">Chrysanthemum Throne</a> ahead of a younger brother or male cousin. Although Imperial chronologies include eight empresses regnant in the course of Japanese history, their successors were always selected from amongst the members of the paternal Imperial bloodline, which is why some conservative scholars argue that the women's reigns were temporary and that male-only succession tradition must be maintained in the 21st century.<sup id="cite_ref-jt2007_20-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jt2007-20">[20]</a></sup> Though <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Empress_Genmei" title="Empress Genmei">Empress Genmei</a> was followed on the throne by her daughter, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Empress_Gensh%C5%8D" title="Empress Genshō">Empress Genshō</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a></sup> Genshō's father, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Prince_Kusakabe" title="Prince Kusakabe">Prince Kusakabe</a>, was also a member of the imperial dynasty, as the son of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Emperor_Tenmu" title="Emperor Tenmu">Emperor Tenmu</a>, and therefore Genshō was a patrilineal descendant of the imperial bloodline. In addition, Empress Genshō herself was succeeded by her brother's son, thus keeping the throne in the same agnatic line; both Genshō and Genmei, as well as all other empresses regnant and emperors, belonged to the same <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Patriline" class="mw-redirect" title="Patriline">patriline</a>.
</p><p>A government-appointed panel of experts submitted a report on 25 October 2005, recommending that the Imperial succession law be amended to permit absolute primogeniture. On 20 January 2006, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Japan" title="Prime Minister of Japan">Prime Minister</a> <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Junichiro_Koizumi" title="Junichiro Koizumi">Junichiro Koizumi</a> used part of his annual keynote speech to address the controversy when he pledged to submit a bill to the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/National_Diet" title="National Diet">Diet</a> letting women ascend to the throne in order that the Imperial throne be continued into the future in a stable manner. Koizumi did not announce a timing for the legislation to be introduced nor did he provide details about the content, but he did note that it would be in line with the conclusions of the 2005 government panel.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a></sup>

<p>Proposals to replace agnatic primogeniture were shelved temporarily after it was announced in February 2006 that the-then Crown Prince's younger brother, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Fumihito,_Prince_Akishino" class="mw-redirect" title="Fumihito, Prince Akishino">Fumihito, Prince Akishino</a>, and his wife, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Kiko,_Princess_Akishino" class="mw-redirect" title="Kiko, Princess Akishino">Kiko, Princess Akishino</a>, were expecting their third child. On 6 September 2006, Princess Kiko gave birth to a son, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Prince_Hisahito_of_Akishino" title="Prince Hisahito of Akishino">Hisahito</a>, who was third in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne at the time of the birth under the current law, after his uncle, the then-Crown Prince, and his father, Prince Akishino.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a></sup> The prince's birth provided the first male heir to be born in the imperial family in 41 years. On 3 January 2007, Prime Minister <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Shinz%C5%8D_Abe" class="mw-redirect" title="Shinzō Abe">Shinzō Abe</a> announced that he would drop the proposal to alter the Imperial Household Law.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a></sup> Therefore, at this time, it seems unlikely that the succession laws will be changed to allow Princess Aiko to ascend the throne.
