List of Chancellors of the Realm



This is a list of all Premier of the Federal Kingdom of Teiko, including those of from the State of Teiko, from when the first Teikonian Premier (in the modern sense), Himura Kenshin, took office in 1870, until the present day. The office is currently held by Seijuro Akashi who was elected by popular vote in 2009.

The rationale regarding the nature, selection and duties of the office have varied greatly throughout Teiko's history. The office was historically used to symbolize the highest official in the land who was then responsible to the Japanese Monarch during Teiko's statehood. After the independence, the Prince of Teiko who officially came from the Kuroko Clan gained the mandate to appoint and remove the succeeding premier at his own prerogative and will. After World War 2, the Teiko Royal Council was given power by the 1946 Teiko Constitution to appoint the Premier among the members of the legislative body who will serve three years for each term or until the vacancy calls for. Continuing political problems and power plays convulsed the country to the 1984 Teiko Constitutional Crises. In 1986, changes in the constitutions calls for the Premier to be elected via popular vote serving six years each term while allowing re-election only once. As of today, no female have yet to hold the office.

The position of Yoshimatsu Okada and Yuzu Otonashi as both Teiko Premier during the occupation of Teiko by Japan has been argued by many historians. As of 2015, they are considered to be the only full blooded Japanese to hold the office.

Multiple terms in office, consecutive or otherwise, are listed and counted in the first column (administration number) and the second column counts individuals. For example, Akashi Seijuro, is listed as the 29th individual to hold the office of premier, whilst his first cabinet is the 39th since Himura Kenshin.
