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 four Princes that succeeded him. The current and the second longest reigning Prince is Kazuhito who succeeded upon his father's abdication in 1986.

Currently, the Royal Household Law limits the succession to only male heirs. The next in line to the throne is Kazuhito's third child and only son Prince Kiyoshi who is expected to succeed his father and become 6th Prince of Teiko.
