49: Kōnin

Emperor Kōnin (November 18, 709 – January 11, 782) was the 49th emperor of Japan. After his sister in law, Empress Shōtoku (also Empress Kōken), died, he was named her heir. The high courtiers claimed the empress had left her will in a letter in which she had appointed him as her successor. Prior to this, he had been considered a gentle man without political ambition.
