Emperor Yasuhito is the current emperor of the Japanese Imperial State, and is the grandson of the former emperor, Emperor Kenichi. His reign is known as the Gen-Yu era and has marked a time of great change in the JIS with the revoking of several points of the Yamato Act, such as allowing foreign mega corp to operate with in Japan and returning the exiled kawaruhito from Yomi Island. He has also reinstated his position as a divine emperor, which has taken some power away from democratically elected officials; which has lead to political unrest within Japan.
