for simplicity's sake, I suggest this be moved under Kiko, Princess Akishino. Akishino is a title, her husband is Fumihito Saito, Prince Akishino; parallel to that of Charles, Prince of Wales 217.140.193.123 21:31, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) I have understood that akishino no miya kiko shinnōhis translation would be: Kiko, princess-consort of princedom Akishino. (As far as anything can be translated fully.) Am I correct in trusting that the abovesaid Japanese wording is in use of her in Japan? (or, why is it mentioned in the text??) 217.140.193.123 9 July 2005 10:55 (UTC)

[edit] Date inconsistency

The article currently claims that the subject was born in both 1966 and 1981. Also, the dates given for various parts of her education do not make any sense. Hopefully someone with knowledge of the subject will correct these inconsistencies. --Dglynch 23:18, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Picture

How about someone gets a new picture? The current one is, in my opinion, a bit poor. SIGURD42 18:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I was just going to say the same thing. Her husband is more prominent in the picture and is casting a shadow on her. A picture of just her would probably be more suitable. Redtitan 19:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

What is the picture of someones dick doing on here?

Just some immature wiki vandals. --Chicito21154 18:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I really think it would be nice to get a better photo. The one here is quite condescending. I have seen some nice photos on the net but I dont know how to handle the copyright issue. Do I just asked the page owner where I found the photo. Are there not some official photos that can be used?? Any ideas anyone? --Hoffybear2002 06:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pregnancy

What are the reactions in Japan to the princess' pregnancy ? I guess that must be a huge surprise ?208.46.78.226 17:17, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

It would seem to be, since her daughters are 14 and 11. I wonder what will happen if this child turns out to be the long awaited son... Prsgoddess187 18:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC) I guess we'll find out right about now... hehe Bushido Brown 05:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Yukarin, thanks for editing, but this page is not for writing your opinion on Japanese imperial system. --222.158.236.49 07:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Margaret Thatcher

I hadn't realised Princess Kiko was the wife of Margaret Thatcher. That's quite an interesting piece of info right there.

:D

I think something needs to be done about the abundance of vandalism on this page. It's starting to get ridiculous. Morhange 22:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

What the hell does Margaret Thatcher have to do with this article? --Chicito21154 18:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ambiguity

I've corrected the ambiguous wording, the one where the clause 'the second son of the Emperor Akihito' is enclosed in commas, as it could be seen to refer to either the Prince or the Princess. While I realise that a more careful look at the text makes it obvious that the Princess cannot be the second son of the Emperor Akihito, I think that such wording has two grammatically permissible meanings, even if one is contextually nonsensical, and may confuse readers at first glance. 218.186.9.1 05:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dozens of Headers - Format Error

The article appears to have dozens of "This Article Documents and Current Event" headers. I can't find out how to remove them. Someone who knows what they are doing should do so. --Corinthian 13:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I saw that to, but then I went to Edit, didnt change anything, hit show prewoew, then saved, seems to be gone. I don't know how or why, or if its just on my computer... 19:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Exactly 41 years?

It wasn't exactly 41 years, now was it? Shouldn't it be changed to 41 years and XX months? -24.92.41.95 22:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Empress or emperor?

"(in Japan only the wife of an Emperor is called an Empress)" from Chrysanthemum Throne article. If the law is changed will the new female monarchs be called Emperor or Empress? --Gbleem 03:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

In English "Empress" obviously, however in Japanese it will remain "tenno" which applies for ruling males and females equally. "Empress-consort" in Japanese has various other names, such as "kogo", "chugu", etc. Gryffindor 11:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
