*''Japanese'': 後陽成天皇 ''(Go Youzei tennou)''
Emperor Go-Yôzei was the last [[emperor]] to reign during the [[Sengoku period]], and the first of the [[Edo period]], his reign spanning the years from [[1586]] to [[1611]].
Go-Yôzei was the grandson of his predecessor, succeeding [[Emperor Ogimachi|Emperor Ôgimachi]] after Ôgimachi's son, Go-Yôzei's father, died. [[Konoe Sakiko]], a daughter of [[Konoe Sakihisa]], was one of his consorts.
He was the last emperor to be depicted in the medieval fashion in his official [[imperial portraits|imperial portrait]] - with facial hair, a symbol of masculine power. By the time of his successor's portrait being painted, however, attitudes had shifted, and a clean-shaven face was seen as a key element of an overall tidy appearance.<ref>Takashi Fujitani, ''Splendid Monarchy'', UC Press (1998), 173.</ref>
On [[1603]]/2/12, Go-Yôzei formally named [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] "[[Shogun]]," thus bestowing imperial legitimacy upon his claims to hegemony and authority. In [[1605]], he named [[Konoe Nobutada]] his regent (''[[kanpaku]]'').
Go-Yôzei was forced to abdicate in [[1611]], in favor of one of his sons who then took the throne as [[Emperor Go-Mizunoo]].
