Japanese Emperor Akihito is celebrating his 91st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed emperors of his generation.
Popular emperor Akihito has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 91st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Akihito, a cultural icon
Born in Tokyo on December 23, 1933, Akihito's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Japanese history. Akihito's not just a great emperor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Akihito hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Akihito as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 91.
Happy Birthday, Akihito, you're the best!
