Emperor Go-Fushimi of Japan
Emperor Go-Fushimi (後伏見天皇) (1288-1336) was the 93rd imperial ruler of Japan. He was a son of Emperor Fushimi. Go-Fushimi reigned from 1298 until his abdication in 1301. He was the author of a famous plea to the god of the Kamo shrine for help in gaining the throne for his son. This plea was ultimately successful, but it was not until thirty-three years after his abdication that Go-Fushimi's son, Kōgon became emperor. Kōgon was the first of northern court emperors backed by the Ashikaga shoguns.
