Takahito, Prince Mikasa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Takahito, Prince Mikasa
is a member of the Imperial House of Japan who is fifth in the line of succession to the Japanese throne. He is the fourth and youngest son of Emperor Taishō and Empress Teimei and is their last surviving child. He is the only surviving paternal uncle of Emperor Akihito. His eldest brother was Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito). With the death of his sister-in-law, Kikuko, Princess Takamatsu, on 17 December 2004, he became the oldest living member of the Imperial House of Japan. After serving as a junior cavalry officer in the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II, the prince embarked upon a postwar career as a scholar and part-time lecturer in Middle Eastern studies and Semitic languages. ==Early life==
Prince Takahito was born at the Tokyo Imperial Palace, in the third year of his father's reign and a full fifteen years after the birth of the future Emperor Shōwa. His childhood appellation was ''Sumi-no-miya''. Prince Takahito attended the boys' elementary and secondary departments of the Gakushuin (Peers' School) from 1922 to 1932. By the time he began his secondary schooling, his eldest brother had already ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne and his next two brothers, Prince Chichibu and Prince Takamatsu, had already embarked upon careers in the Japanese Imperial Army and the Japanese Imperial Navy, respectively. He enrolled in the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1932 and was commissioned as a sub-lieutenant and assigned to the Fifth Cavalry Regiment in June 1936. He subsequently graduated from the Army Staff College. Upon attaining the age of majority in December 1935, Emperor Shōwa granted him the title ''Mikasa-no-miya'' (Prince Mikasa) and the authorization to form a new branch of the Imperial Family.
