TOKYO - Now that Japan has a new emperor, Naruhito, its imperial family will be left with just three heirs to the throne - one of whom is 83 - a situation likely to renew debate on the monarchy’s males-only succession.
First in line after Naruhito is his younger brother, Akishino, 53, followed by Akishino’s son, 12-year-old Hisahito. In 2006, the then-prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, was close to proposing a revision of the males-only rule, but that was shelved with the birth of Prince Hisahito, ending a 41-year drought in male heirs.
