		The Emperor of Japan (天皇 tennō) is Japan's titular head of state and the head of the Japanese Imperial Family.

		By the 1930s the Japanese cabinet was largely composed of pseudo-fascist military leaders who used the Emperor and his supposed divinity as an ultra-nationalistic rallying point for expansion of the Empire.

	Talk:List of Emperors of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emperor Meiji (being a translation of Meiji Tennō) is not merely a reference to the emperor who reigned during the Meiji era.
		By comparison, the current emperor is arguably already the Heisei Emperor (he is the emperor who reigns during the present Heisei Era), but he is certainly not currently Emperor Heisei.
		In the Japanese context, this probably only applies to the primary wives; as for secondary wives, they should probably be refered to as "consort", as you suggest.

		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.
		Japanese administrations have usually been in a position where the emperor was something that had to be accepted as a necessary inconvenience - as the Italian government has had to live with the Pope residing within the borders of Italy.
		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.

		While Emperor Meiji's claim on the throne was something ancient, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was an anomaly in the entire history of Japan in some 'progressive' way, certainly way ahead of Emperor Meiji's progressiveness: Toyotomi was the son of a landless peasant, who rose to the ultimate position as Lord Chancellor -- equal to a Shogun.
		By the way, it was Emperor Meiji who radically changed the diet of the Japanese; in the end of his reign, Japanese had been consuming much less fish and rice, eating more and more potatoes, plus importing beef and pork and such in increasing quantity.

		The traditional Chinese dates for the Emperors are usually for the first full year of the reign, which is also the first year of the appropriate Era.
		The convention also makes it possible that Emperors who do not survive beyond their initial calendar year may not even be counted, which is the case, creating some confusion, with a couple of the Mongols.
		Data like the list of Shang kings or the excavation of Shang royal tombs thus leaves us pretty much in the dark about historical events, though this is not much different from what is often the case with contemporary Egypt or Mesopotamia.
