Social Sciences - Government / Politics / Heads of State | | English term or phrase: the (present) Emperor | Greetings,
I was most interested to read that according to Japanese customs, the emperor has no name during his reign and is only called the (present) Emperor.
Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Taisho
It is the formal Japanese translation of this expression, “the (present) Emperor” which I am seeking.
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon |

| | Japanese translation:今上天皇（Kinjo Tenno) | Explanation:
Although it is rarely used in spoken Japanese, I think this is official way to call the present or "incumbent?" emperor. |

Explanation:
That's right, the current emperor is only called as "Tennou" Because there is no one else who has the name of "Emperor".He will be referred to as "Heisei Tenno" after his death. But even now you can refer him as "Heisei Tennou" and hear media call him in articles or news broadcast.
