Hidehito (Japanese: 英仁; 5 August 1758 – 16 December 1779), posthumously honored as Emperor Go-Momozono (後桃園天皇, Go-Momozono-tennō), was the 118th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He was named after his father Emperor Momozono. The wording of go- (後) in the name translates as "later", so he has also been referred to as "Later Emperor Momozono", "Momozono, the second", or "Momozono II". Go-Momozono became Emperor in 1771, during the Edo period, and died eight years into his reign in 1779. Read more on Wikipedia
