*''Japanese'': 醍醐天皇 ''(Daigo tennou)''

Emperor Daigo was a [[Heian period]] [[emperor]] known for commissioning the ''[[Engishiki]]'', a record of court protocols of the time, and for his involvement with the affairs surrounding [[Sugawara no Michizane]].

Daigo succeeded his father [[Emperor Uda]] in [[897]]; unlike Uda, who sought to restrict [[Fujiwara clan]] power, Daigo supported [[Fujiwara no Tokihira]], and had Sugawara no Michizane exiled in [[901]].

Upon Daigo's death (he did not retire as the previous several emperors did) in [[930]], he was succeeded by one of his sons, who took the throne as [[Emperor Suzaku]].
