Princess Mako of Japan

-

The eldest daughter of His Imperial Highness Prince Akishino of Japan and granddaugh­ter of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Akihito of Japan, Her Imperial Highness Princess Mako of Akishino is a gifted multi-linguist who is fluent in Japanese Sign Language and is often seen acting as a voice for the deaf community—much like her mother Her Imperial Highness Princess Akishino of Japan. The dedicated humanitari­an visited the victims of the 2011 Tōhuku earthquake and tsunami. Her Imperial Highness is expected to give up her title upon her marriage to Kei Komuro, a commoner, in 2020, but it’s clear the Japanese people will never give her up in their hearts.
