Kazuhito

Kazuhito (和仁) is the reigning Prince of Teiko, the 5th prince of his line according to Teiko's traditional order of succession. He acceded to the Throne of Teiko in 1986 at the age of 21 after his father's abdication during the syndicated Teiko constitutional crises becoming the youngest prince to accede the throne in Teiko's history.

In Teiko, the prince is never referred to by his given name, but rather is referred to as "His Majesty the Prince" which may be shortened to "His Majesty". In writing, the prince is also referred to formally as "The Reigning Prince". As agreed by the Cabinet after several recommendations from the Teiko Royal Family, the era of Kazuhito bears the name "Yoshi" (義) and according to custom he will be renamed "Prince Yoshi" after his death. At the same time, the name of the next era under his successor will also be established.
