List of Princes of Teiko



The List of Princes of Teiko presents the traditional order of succession. Since Kuroko Tetsuya, head of the Kuroko clan acceded to the Throne of Teiko in 1895 there have been five Princes that succeeded him. The current and the youngest ever Prince to accede the Throne is Kiyoshi who succeeded upon his father's untimely death in November 2016.

Currently, the Royal Household Law and the Teiko Succession Law limits the succession to only male heirs. The next in line to the throne is Kiyoshi's cousin Prince Taishi of Nakagawa who is favored to become the first Regent of Teiko.
