Hirohito (裕仁, Hirohito?) (April 29, 1901 – January 7, 1989) was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from 1926 to 1989. Since his death he has been known as Emperor Shōwa (昭和天皇, Shōwa Tennō?) in Japan, although he is widely referred to as Hirohito, or Emperor Hirohito outside of Japan. His reign was the longest of any historical Japanese emperor, and oversaw many significant changes to Japanese society.\n\nEarly life\nBorn in the Aoyama Palace in Tokyo, Hirohito was the first son of then Crown Prince Yoshihito and then-Crown Princess Sadako. His childhood title was Prince Michi (迪宮, Michi no miya?). He became heir apparent upon the death of his grandfather, Emperor Meiji, on July 30, 1912. His formal investiture as Crown Prince took place on November 2, 1916.\n\nHe attended the boy's department of Gakushuin Peer's School from 1908 to 1914 and then a special institute for the Crown Prince (Tōgū-gogakumonsho) from 1914 to 1921. On November 29, 1921, he became regent of Japan, in place of his ailing father. In 1922, Prince Regent Hirohito took a six month tour of the United Kingdom and five other European countries (France; Italy, Vatican City; the Netherlands; and Belgium) thus becoming the first Japanese crown prince to travel abroad.\n\nHe married his distant cousin Princess Nagako, the eldest daughter of Prince Kuni Kuniyoshi, on January 26, 1924. There were seven children from the marriage:\n\nPrincess Teru (Teru no miya Shigeko), b. December 9, 1925, d. July 23, 1961; m. October 10, 1943 Prince Morihiro (b. May 6, 1916, d. February 1, 1969), the eldest son of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko and his wife, Princess Toshiko, the eighth daughter of Emperor Meiji; lost status as imperial family members, October 14, 1947. \nPrincess Hisa (Hisa no miya Sachiko), b. September 10, 1927, d. March 8, 1928. \nPrincess Taka (Taka no miya Kazuko), b. September 30, 1929, d. May 26, 1989; m. May 5, 1950 Mr. Toshimichi Takatsukasa (b. August 26, 1923, d. January 27, 1966), eldest son of Nobusuke Takatsukasa [peer]. \nPrincess Yori (Yori no miya Atsuko), b. March 7, 1931; m. October 10, 1952 Mr. Takamasa Ikeda (b. October 21, 1927), eldest son of former Marquis Nobumasa Ikeda. \nCrown Prince Akihito (now HM The Emperor), b. December 23, 1933; m. April 10, 1959 Miss Michiko Shoda (b. October 20, 1934), elder daughter of Mr. Hidesaburo Shoda, former president and chairman of Nisshin Flour Milling Company. \nPrince Hitachi (Hitachi no miya Masahito), b. November 28, 1935; m. October 30, 1964 Miss Hanako Tsugaru (b. July 19, 1940), fourth daughter of former Count Yoshitaka Tsugaru. \nPrincess Suga (Suga no miya Takako), b. March 2, 1939; m. March 3, 1960 Mr. Hisanaga Shimazu, son of former Count Hisanori Shimazu. \n\n\n\nAccession \nHirohito, pictured on the cover of the American newsmagazine Time, on the occasion of his coronation.On December 25, 1926, upon the death of his father Yoshihito, he succeeded to the throne and a new era Shōwa (Enlightened Peace) was proclaimed. He was crowned emperor on November 10, 1928 in Kyoto. The new emperor had the distinction of being the first Japanese monarch in several hundred years whose biological mother was his predecessor's official wife.\n\n\nEarly reign\nThe first part of Hirohito's reign as sovereign (between 1926 and 1945) took place against a background of increasing military power within the government, through both legal and extralegal means. The Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy had held veto power over the formation of cabinets since 1900, and between 1921 and 1944 there were no fewer than 64 incidents of right-wing political violence.\n\nOne notable case was the assassination of moderate Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi in 1932, which marked the end of any real civilian control of the military. This was followed by an attempted military coup in February 1936, mounted by junior Army officers; it

Hmm Utada Hikaru (hiki is her nickname) is a very very big pop culture icon there. It's the equivalent to Britney Spears but she's not a [insert whatever word you please]. She is well-known in the states most likely for her songs made for the Kingdom Hearts video games. Ayumi Hamazaki is also a big j-pop star. If you want to learn others I would go look up in google j-pop or if you like rock music, j-rock. Luna Sea is a favorite of mine, but I do not know how "trendy" they are. Most songs are entirely in Japanese, but I've heard it's trendy to add in little English words here and there. I think hiki does a wonderful job at it.\n\nIs there any store near you that is Japanese-like? Places where you can buy manga books, manga is very big there as well (They're like comic books, but much more popular there). I'm sure there are some sites online as well.\n\nAs for movies, I love love love Miyazaki's movies! He has done two very very popular movies, one called Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away), and Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke). I love these movies and I watched them while taking japanese in high school and my teacher showed me. :) I have also heard (if you are into anime) that Akira is like a classic must see. If you don't like the cartoon-ish stuff we did watch this chick flick called "Shall We Dance" (the american version is based off of the japanese one). Otherwise, I'm not very sure...\n\nAnyways good luck! I am studying abroad there next year, and I just love the culture and language. Very fascinating. Gan Barre!
