Japanese imperial family tree

The following is a family tree of the Emperors of Japan, from Emperor Jimmu to the present day.

Modern scholars have come to question the existence of at least the first nine emperors; Kōgen's descendant, Emperor Sujin is the first that many agree might have actually existed.[1] Those monarchs are regarded by historians as a "legendary emperors". There is insufficient material available for further verification and study.[2]

The reign of Emperor Kimmei (509?–571 AD), the 29th emperor,[3] is the first for which contemporary historiography is able to assign verifiable dates;[4] However, the conventionally accepted names and dates of the early emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu (737–806), the 50th sovereign of the Yamato dynasty.[5]
