Emperor Go-Uda

Emperor Go-Uda (1267–1324), the 91st emperor of Japan, was a son of Emperor Kameyama and head of the Daikakuji-tō line. Named crown prince under Retired Emperor Go-Saga's settlement, he succeeded in 1274 while Kameyama ruled as cloistered emperor, and his reign saw the Mongol invasions of 1274 and 1281 repelled by the Hōjō-led shogunate.

In 1287 the rival Jimyōin-tō and the Kamakura shogunate forced him to abdicate for Emperor Fushimi. He later ran the court as cloistered emperor for his son Emperor Go-Nijō and again for his second son Emperor Go-Daigo.
