The only people who should be listed in this template – to the exclusion of all others – are the Emperor and his consort, the Empress, his grandmother, the Grand Empress Dowager, and his mother, the Empress Dowager, as well as all the Princes and Princesses of Japan. The people listed should all be alive. (An exception should be held for the Emperor's abdicated father, the Emperor Emeritus, and his abdicated mother, the Empress Emerita, while they are still alive.)
