Emperors of Japan

There are 126 emperors in the history of Japan, starting in 660 BCE. This set uses the posthumous name of the emperors rather than the personal name.
200-270 was ruled by Empress Jingū, who is not counted among the officially numbered emperors.
This does not include the Northern Court of six pretenders to the throne from 1331–1392.
Akihito and Naruhito are still living despite the quiz using their posthumous names.
