Everything about Prince Hisahito Of Akishino totally explained
, currently third in line to the Japanese throne, is the third child of the
Prince and
Princess Akishino, and their first son.
He was born at 8:27 a.m. (
Japan Standard Time) by
Caesarean section in a private clinic in
Tokyo following complications in the pregnancy, diagnosed as partial
placenta praevia, which resulted in the birth taking place some two weeks early. He weighed 2.556 kg (5 lb 10 oz) at birth. According to the current
law of succession, he's
third in line of succession to become
Emperor of Japan. He is the first male child born to the Japanese Imperial family since his father, 41 years ago.
In January 2007, then Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe announced that he'd drop the proposal to alter the
Imperial Household Law. Therefore, it seems increasingly unlikely that the succession laws will be changed to allow Hisahito's cousin,
Princess Aiko, to become reigning Empress.
Although Imperial chronologies include eight reigning empresses in the course of Japanese history, their successors were most often selected from amongst the males 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.
Empress Gemmei, who was followed on the throne by her daughter,
Empress Genshō, remains the sole exception to this conventional argument.
His personal name means "serene and virtuous," according to the
Imperial Household Agency. An alternative translation is "virtuous, calm, everlasting." His name was chosen by his father, and the Imperial crest used to mark his belongings is
koyamaki (
Japanese Umbrella-pine) tree. Princess Kiko has offered to donate the
umbilical cord blood to the Japanese Cord Blood Bank Network for the general public and not for private use.
Prince Hisahito has two older sisters,
Princess Mako of Akishino (born
23 October 1991) and
Princess Kako of Akishino (born
29 December 1994).
Birthday
On September 6, 2007, Prince Hisahito celebrated his 1st birthday amid glare of
cameras at the imperial palace.
Newspapers published front-page pictures of the smiling prince standing on a table in pale blue
rompers. The
Imperial Household Agency stated his weight as 9,285 grams (20.4 pounds) and is 75 centimetres (30 inches) tall.
