According to the old royal regulations, the Crown Princess could only come from the royal family or the five regent families (i.e., Konoha, Takushi, Ichijo, Nijo, and Kujo) and the Chinese family. Through the efforts of the Crown Prince, the Imperial Council, consisting of the Prime Minister, the royal family, the presidents of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the President of the Supreme Court, unanimously agreed to the marriage of the Crown Prince to Ms. Masuda.

The Crown Prince and his wife's eldest daughter, Prince Keimiya Aiko Uchiai, was born on Dec. 1, 2001 (Heisei 13), and her court number and name are taken from the Chinese Confucian classic "Mencius". According to the Miyauchi Prefectural Office, the words "Ai" and "Keigo" are derived from the phrase "Those who love others, those who love others always, and those who respect others," which is found in "Mengzi," one of the Four Books and Five Classics of the ancient Chinese literature. Those who respect others are always respected by others". Currently attends Nihon Gakuin Elementary School. The Akishinomiya family, the second son of Emperor Akihito of Japan, has a daughter in their midst. Akishinomiya's first and second daughters are Mako, 23, and Yoshiko, 20, respectively (2014). The princess sisters, who have become teenage idols pursued by Japanese otaku because of their innocent and cute appearance, have recently seen their photos and anthropomorphic illustrations circulating on the Internet, much to the bewilderment of Japan's imperial family.
Now as long as the Internet search for Mako's nickname "Mako RINPEN", will come out a bunch of Princess Mako's Web site, which collects Mako's images or manga illustrations produced by netizens, and so on. Netizens created the character "Mako RINPEN" based on Mako, a student at Gakushuin High School, and created a variety of costumes for her, including Mako in a sailor suit, a military uniform, and a bathing suit. Mako has now become an idol, and more and more netizens are attracted to Yoshiko, who attends a junior high school in Gakushuin, and has been photographed by her classmates on the Internet.
Websites related to Mako appeared in large numbers about three or four years ago, and it was about two years ago that Mako was idolized. Because most girls nowadays dye their hair, but Mako has always kept it black, and because Mako's appearance is already pure and lovely, she is more easily portrayed as a manga character. In the online circulation is not only the plane illustration, there are netizens launched Princess Mako animation, in the "common people fall down" animation, Mako wearing a sailor suit, carrying a red school bag, next to the "Princess Mako" written in English, animation Mako In the animation, Princess Mako says in a rude manner, "Do you know who I am? Call me Princess!"
The critic Shunichi Tangawa, who is familiar with otaku culture, said that there is a slight desire among men to be dominated by a noble woman and to devote themselves to her, which is why Mako is regarded by the Internet community as a "moe" (special favorite thing). Another reason is that even the innocent idol Sakai Fako was arrested for drug abuse and betrayed her fans, while members of the royal family are unlikely to have committed any serious transgressions. The Miyauchi Hall reporter pointed out that Mako herself is very serious, and most of her daily life is just quiet reading, she may not be aware of her popularity on the Internet, but perhaps it is also possible to hear a friend mention it!
