""

Emperor Kōji (光治帝, Kōji-mikado, born November 05, 1969 CE) is the emperor of Tenzan. He ascended to the Chrysanthemum Throne on 21 May 610 CC, beginning the Kōji (光治) era, following the death of his father, Emperor Shōka. He is the 134th Emperor of Tenzan according to the traditional order of succession.

Emperor Kōji was born as Kazuhito (和仁) in Shizunagashi, Rakuyō as the third child and second son of Emperor Shōka and Empress Meijun. He received the childhood appellation, Prince Yoshi (義宮和仁親王, Yoshi-no-miya Kazuhito Shinnō).

He was declared the heir apparent to Emperor Shōka after the assassination of Takahito, Prince Hiro — the first in line of the Chrysanthemum throne by the Coiled Dragon Society (蟠竜会, Banryūkai) after the infamous June 7 incident.

After Prince Yoshi ascended to the Chrysanthemum throne on 21 May 1999 CE, he received the posthumous name Kōji (光治), the Avalonian meaning being "Brilliant and Illustrious Rule", as reported by the Tenzanese Foreign Ministry.
