Emperor Toba was an [[emperor]] of the late [[Heian period]].
A grandson of [[Emperor Shirakawa]] and [[Fujiwara no Sanesue]] and son of [[Emperor Horikawa]], he took the throne in [[1107]] upon his father's death. [[Fujiwara no Tadazane]] served as ''[[sessho|sesshô]]'' and then ''[[kanpaku]]'' (regent) for nearly the entirety of Toba's reign, until [[1121]].
Toba married Fujiwara no Nariko, who came to be known as [[Empress Bifukumon-in]] ([[1117]]-[[1160]]). Among their children were the future [[Emperor Sutoku|Emperors Sutoku]], [[Emperor Konoe|Konoe]], and [[Emperor Go-Shirakawa|Go-Shirakawa]].
He retired in [[1123]] in favor of his son, who then took the throne as Emperor Sutoku. In accordance with the [[Insei]] system established by his grandfather Shirakawa, however, Toba retained considerable political influence in his retirement.
