Emperor Go-Horikawa was an emperor of the [[Kamakura period]] who came to the throne in [[1221]] following the [[Jokyu Disturbance|Jôkyû Disturbance]], in which an attempt by [[Emperor Go-Toba|Retired Emperor Go-Toba]] to overthrow the [[Kamakura shogunate]] was defeated.

His predecessor, [[Emperor Chukyo|Emperor Chûkyô]] was forced to abdicate the throne and was exiled along with his father [[Emperor Juntoku]], grandfather Go-Toba, and several others involved in the uprising. Go-Horikawa, a nephew of Go-Toba, then acceded to the throne. He took [[Fujiwara no Choshi|Fujiwara no Chôshi]] as his consort.

In [[1232]], Go-Horikawa abdicated in favor of his son, who took the throne as [[Emperor Shijo|Emperor Shijô]].
