  Emperor Shirakawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emperor Shirakawa (白河天皇 Shirakawa Tennō) (July 7, 1053 July 24, 1129) was the 72nd imperial ruler of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
Note: there's also a theory that Shirakawa was the actual father of Emperor Sutoku, officially the son of Emperor Toba, Shirakawa's grandson.
Shirakawa was still alive when Toba abdicated in turn to his son, who became Emperor Sutoku.

 Emperor of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The role of the Emperor of Japan has alternated between that of a supreme-rank cleric with largely symbolic powers and that of an actual imperial ruler from the dawn of history until the mid-twentieth century.
Although the emperor performs many of the roles of a head of state, there has been a persistent controversy within Japan as to whether the emperor is in fact a true monarch in a political sense or merely a hereditary pretender, as a political servant of a constitutional parliamentary republic.
The acceptable imperial wives, brides for an emperor and for a crown prince, were even legislated into the Meiji-era imperial house laws, which stipulated that daughters of Sekke (the five main branches of the higher Fujiwara) and daughters of the imperial clan itself were primarily acceptable brides.

Emperor Go-Shirakawa (後白河天皇, Go-Shirakawa-tennō) (October 18, 1127–April 26, 1192) was the 77th imperial ruler of Japan, reigning from August 23, 1155 to September 5, 1158.
When his brother Emperor Konoe died in 1155, Go-Shirakawa became Emperor with support of Toba and a powerful peer Fujiwara no Tadamichi, since they were against the ex-Emperor Sutoku and did not want his son to be the next emperor.
Go-Shirakawa planned to regain power, and secretly sent his son Prince Mochihito as a messenger to the Minamoto, who were the enemy of the Taira, in which Go-Shirakawa proclaimed the Taira as the enemy of the court and requested that the people fight against them.
