Princess Aiko

Princess Aiko is the 24-year-old only child of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan. While a prominent member of the Imperial Family, she is not eligible to ascend the throne due to Japanese law which prevents women from reigning. She is newsworthy due to her recent first trip to Fukushima with her parents, marking the 15th anniversary of the devastating nuclear tsunami caused by a major earthquake. This visit highlights the ongoing recovery efforts and the Imperial Family's support for the affected region. Her presence in Fukushima underscores the significance of the anniversary and the continued need for remembrance and support. Emperor Naruhito's recent appearance at the World Baseball Classic, watching Japan play Australia, also keeps the Imperial Family in the public eye.
