Irohi II (23 December 1929 - 15 October 2023) was the longest-serving Emperor of Tosichi. He became emperor following the death of his father Ichijou in 1966, and reigned until his death in 2023, at which point he was succeeded by his eldest son Sayako. As Emperor, Irohi reigned over a period of substantial change and modernization for Tosichi, including the departure of Siniapore, significant economic growth, and made efforts to bring the imperial family closer to the Tosichi people. Irohi II made official visits to all prefectures of Tosichi and to many of the remote islands under its territory, as well as most nations in the world. He had a keen interest in natural life and conservation, as well as Tosichi and world history.

Irohi II was born Prince Irihito in 1929 to Crown Prince Ichijou, the eldest son of Irohi I. When Irohi I died in 1944 and Ichijou became emperor, Irohito subsequently became Crown Prince and heir apparent. In 1952, Irohito married Princess Tirita. Tirita had three unsuccessful pregnancies before Sayako was born in 1959. The couple had two more sons, Irichyo (1963) and Asiryo (1967). Ichijou's death in 1966 led to Irohito becoming emperor, adopting the name of his grandfather. Tirita died in 1992 from lung cancer, likely as a result of her smoking habits. Irohi II died after suffering health complications as a result of a fall during a speech at Yoshii Katahiko University in Kyose on October 15th, 2023.

Death and legacy

On October 11th, 2023, Irohi II collapsed on stage at the Yoshii Katahiko University in Kyose while delivering a speech, and was quickly rushed to a local hospital and later flown back to the Imperial Palace in Tagayan. Doctors revealed on October 14th that Irohi's health had dramatically declined as a result of brain injury sustained in the fall, and Crown Prince Sayako, Prince Irichyo, and Prince Asiryo returned to the palace. At 7:14 PM on October 15th, 2023, Irohi II died at the age of 93. Sayako was named Emperor in a private ceremony at the palace, overseen by the Tosichi Supreme Court and Prime Minister Ari Shihida.

The outpouring of grief from the Tosichi public was instantaneous, with Irohi II having been the longest-serving monarch in Tosichi's history.

International reaction

  •  Caspiaa - Prime Minister Tullia Grönberg said of Irohi II "His Royalty had a lasting impact on insuring diplomacy came first in every dispute, and his enjoyment and interest in international cultures attributed greatly to his work in pursuing those diplomatic channels, and for this I admire him as a politician. But above that, he was a remarkable man admired by his own people and admired by his critics alike. The world has lost a golden era monarch." King Oliver I also led condolences on behalf of the Caspiaan government, and was joined by Foreign Minister Mathias Ronning in attending Irohi II's state funeral.
  •  Siniapore - President Tee Hsien Moong held a press conference in which he paid tribute to Irohi II, stating "although our nations have become divided by divisions of politics and geopolitical tension, the history of our nations are intertwined in our mutual existance, and His Royalty was a key motivator in insuring Siniapore's independence. There was no distrust in his credibility, no disdain nor disrespect between our nations. Emperor Irohi was a statesman with a caliber of dignity rarely seen in the modern era, and his devotion to the Tosichi people and his friendship to our nation will be dearly missed."
  •  Yuan - President Qin Chen offered condolences to the people of Tosichi and vowed to support Emperor Sayako, saying "Irohi II was a friend to the people of Yuan and we respect his legacy greatly."
