2 Life

He became Crown Prince in 1768. Two years later, in 1770, his aunt, Go-Sakuramachi ceded the throne to him. The Emperor was sickly, and in 1779, he passed away at the age of just 22.

Because his only child was a daughter, Princess Yoshiko (?) (欣子), he hurriedly adopted a son from the Kan'in branch of the Imperial Family who became Emperor Kokaku. His daughter was married to Emperor Kokaku.
