Emperor Go-Fushimi

Emperor Go-Fushimi (1288–1336), the 93rd emperor of Japan, was the eldest son of Emperor Fushimi and a Jimyōin-tō prince. Named crown prince in 1289, he ascended in 1298 when his father abdicated, but in 1301 the rival Daikakuji-tō drove him from the throne for Emperor Go-Nijō.

He acted as cloistered emperor for his younger brother Emperor Hanazono from 1313 to 1318, when the shogunate sponsored a plan to alternate the throne. He petitioned Kamo Shrine for his son's elevation; in 1331 Kazuhito became Emperor Kōgon, first of the Ashikaga-backed Northern Court emperors.
