             Los primeros veintiocho emperadores están tomados del Nihon Shoki, Las Cronicas del Japón. Los catorce primeros se consideran legendarios, mientras que de los restantes está comprobada su existencia, aunque las fechas de su reinado no puedan precisarse con exactitud.

             Cuando existen dos fechas diferentes para el acceso al trono y la coronación, ésta se pone entre paréntesis. En ocasiones solo aparece la fecha de la coronación.

             En el caso del emperador Antoku, su reino se solapa con el del emperador Go-Toba, que fue puesto en el trono por el clan Minamoto, durante las Guerras Gempei, cuando el clan Taira huyo de Kyoto con Antoku.

            Entre corchetes las fechas de nacimiento y muerte.
