Emperor Chûkyô was the first son of Emperor Juntoku. He reigned briefly, for only a few months in 1221.
Chûkyô ascended to the throne late in the 4th month of 1221, upon Juntoku's abdication. Several months later, however, after his grandfather, Emperor Go-Toba, led forces against the Kamakura shogunate in the Jôkyû Disturbance and was defeated, Chûkyô was forced to abdicate the throne in favor of Emperor Go-Horikawa, and exiled along with his father to Sado Island.
