What is the royal family name in Japan?

Members of the Japanese royal family have no surnames.

Last name:

In order to maintain the myth that the emperor is a descendant of the gods, members of the Japanese royal family have no surnames.

Naming:

In the past few centuries, men's names ended with "hito" (Japanese Roman character) and women's names ended with "Zi" (Japanese Roman character ko). There are a few exceptions in history.

Title:

The direct descendants of the emperor also have titles. Within three generations of the direct line, the prince is called "prince" and the emperor's daughter is called "inner prince"; Outside the direct line of three generations, the grandson is called "Wang" and the granddaughter is called "Hou" In the past, the title of "queen" was only available to the sixth generation of the emperor's granddaughter. After Meiji, this restriction was lifted.

There are also titles such as Crown Prince, Grandson, Empress, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager and Princess, which have the same meaning as Chinese.

Salutation:

The emperor, empress, empress dowager and empress dowager are addressed as "Your Majesty", and the rest of the royal family are addressed as "Your Highness". The death of the emperor is "collapse", and the death of the rest of the royal family is "walking".
