Crown Prince of Teiko

The Crown Prince of Teiko (皇太子親王) is a title held by the heir apparent to the Throne of Teiko. First created by Prince Akihiro in 1899, for his son Prince Kuroko Masanori, the prince's eldest son by a royal wife Princess Akira. Prior to this, the Teikonian throne did not have a law or formal system regulating the royal succession.

Throughout history, the powers of the Crown Prince has varied greatly. Prior to World War II, he is formally the second most powerful person in the Kingdom of Teiko. After the 1984 Teiko Constitutional Crises, the Crown Prince serves as an official liaison officer of the Royal House of Teiko to the Teikonian cabinet. Although officially invited to all proceedings, he holds no voting power and may not be given executive powers like those of the ministers of the state. However, he holds reserve power

The position is currently vacant as there are no heir apparent to the Throne of Teiko. Next in line to the succession is Prince Taishi of Nakagawa who is currently the heir presumptive.
