Emperor Suzaku

Emperor Suzaku (923–952), personal name Yutaakira, was Japan's 61st emperor, reigning from 930 to 946. The eleventh son of Emperor Daigo, he ascended at eight under the regency of his uncle Fujiwara no Tadahira.

His reign saw the Shōhei–Tengyō rebellions: Taira no Masakado's revolt was crushed in 940 and Fujiwara no Sumitomo's western rising in 941. Sickly and heirless, Suzaku abdicated to his brother Emperor Murakami in 946, took vows, and died in 952.
