He was the first son of Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado. His mother was Niwata (Fujiwara) Asako (庭田(源)朝子), the daughter of Niwata Nagakata (庭田長賢).
In 1500, he became Emperor upon the death of his father, the Go-Tsuchimikado Emperor. However, because of the aftereffects of the Onin War, the Imperial Family was left so impoverished, that he was unable to perform the formal coronation ceremony. On the 3rd month, 22nd day of 1521, thanks to contributions from Honganji ?? (本願寺実如) and the Muromachi Bakufu, the Emperor was finally able to carry out this ceremony.
Because of the Onin War, the scattering of the Court Nobility, and the poverty of the Imperial Court, the Emperor's authority fell to a low point. This was the Imperial Court's lowest point.
On May 19, 1536, the Emperor died.
