Where did the Japanese emperor come from? Why did Emperor Akihito admit that he was Korean?

The Japanese royal family was formed in the Yamato period. Before that, immigrants from North Korea and Chinese mainland had been conquering the aborigines, from whom the Emperor was born. In addition, Emperor Akihito's ancestor was Emperor Kanmu, and Emperor Kanmu's mother immigrated to Japan from the Korean Peninsula at that time, so as a descendant, Emperor Akihito did have certain Korean descent.

The Japanese royal family is one of the oldest in the world. In ancient China, the royal family changed with the change of dynasties. But the Japanese royal family is very stable, from birth.

Speaking of the origin of the Japanese royal family, we must first talk about the national composition of the Japanese. First of all, Japan was originally on the mainland. Because of the crustal movement, Japan was separated from the mainland, and the primitive people on it were the aborigines of Japan. In addition to the Japanese aborigines, some people from the mainland and the Korean peninsula also immigrated because of political and life reasons at that time.

Because of their high level of civilization, these people have an advantage after emigrating to Japan. Immigrants quickly defeated the aborigines and began to integrate with them, forming the Yamato culture as we know it, so the Emperor appeared.

Emperor Akihito has publicly stated that he has a certain Korean peninsula lineage, which is not inferred by experts, but admitted by Emperor Akihito himself. As we said before, Emperor Akihito's ancestor was Emperor Kanmu, and Emperor Kanmu's mother immigrated to Japan from the Korean peninsula, so theoretically, Emperor Akihito does have Korean ancestry. You know, in ancient times, Japan and the Korean peninsula were very close, so the exchanges between the two countries were very frequent. Therefore, compared with the mainland, the Korean peninsula is the main force to immigrate to Japan.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japanese militarism prevailed, so there are many sayings about the purity of Japanese royal blood. Therefore, the statement that the emperor is of mainland or Korean descent is denied. It was not until the end of World War II that the freedom of cultural exchange in the past gradually recovered, so Japan began to formalize some facts.
