EMPEROR GO-MOMOZONO
'Emperor Go-Momozono' (後桃園天皇 ''Go-Momozono-tennÅ'') (August 5, 1758 - December 16, 1779) was the '118th' emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He reigned from May 23, 1771 until his death on December 16, 1779. He was succeeded by his second cousin, Emperor KÅkaku. His personal name was 'Hidehito' (英ä»).
He was the firstborn son of Emperor Momozono.

★ Adopted son

★ Imperial Prince Tomohito (å…¼ä»è¦ªçŽ‹) (Emperor KÅkaku, sixth son of Imperial Prince Kan'in-no-miya Sukehito)
He became Crown Prince in 1768. Two years later, in 1771, his aunt, Empress Go-Sakuramachi, ceded the throne to him. The Emperor was sickly, and in 1779, he died at the age of just 22.
Because his only child was a daughter, Princess Yoshiko (欣å), he hurriedly adopted a son from the Kan'in branch of the Imperial Family who became Emperor KÅkaku. His daughter was married to Emperor KÅkaku - Imperial Princess Yoshiko (?, 欣å内親王), also known as Shinkiyowa-in (?, 新清和院).
The years of Go-Momozono's reign are more specifically identified by more than one era name or ''nengÅ''.
