[[File:Komyo-suko.jpg|right|thumb|400px|The mausoleum of Emperors Kômyô and [[Emperor Suko|Sukô]] in [[Fushimi]].]]
*''Reign: [[1336]]/8/15-[[1347]]''
*''Japanese'': 光明天皇 ''(Koumyou tennou)''
Emperor Kômyô was an emperor of the [[Northern Court]], reigning from [[1336]] to [[1347]].
In [[1336]], as [[Emperor Go-Daigo]] fled Kyoto for [[Yoshino]], Shogun [[Ashikaga Takauji]] provided [[Imperial Regalia]] for Prince Yakuhito (as he was then known) to succeed his brother, [[Emperor Kogon|Retired Emperor Kôgon]] and to take the throne. Go-Daigo claimed, however, to possess the true Regalia, that those used by Takauji and Kômyô for this accession ceremony were forgeries, and that as a result Kômyô was not legitimately the sovereign, and that Go-Daigo, in Yoshino, remained the true emperor. Today, the [[Imperial Household Agency]] officially recognizes Go-Daigo, historically, as the true emperor at that time and the Northern Court as pretenders, not counted in the official numbering of [[emperors]].
Regardless, Kômyô reigned in Kyoto until [[1347]], at which time he stepped down in favor of [[Emperor Suko|Emperor Sukô]].
