*''Death: [[1840]]''
*''Reign: [[1779]]-[[1817]]''
*''Japanese'': 光格天皇 ''(koukaku tennou)''
Emperor Kôkaku reigned from [[1779]] to [[1817]], succeeding [[Emperor Go-Momozono]] and being succeeded in turn by his son, [[Emperor Ninko|Emperor Ninkô]].
Kôkaku arranged to have the term ''[[Emperor|tennô]]'' ("Heavenly King", or "Emperor") employed to refer to him posthumously. This marked the revival of an ancient tradition, making himself the first emperor in roughly six hundred years to be officially called ''tennô''.<ref>Luke Roberts, "Cultivating Non-National Historical Understandings in Local History," Joshua Fogel (ed.)
