TOKYO - When Japanese Emperor Akihito abdicates on April 30, he and Empress Michiko will fade into retirement after decades in the spotlight.
Nearly all that will end when his son, Crown Prince Naruhito, becomes emperor on May 1 after Akihito steps down, the first abdication by a Japanese monarch in two centuries. Friends had hoped Akihito would have time to indulge his love of tennis, but that could be tough given his age. The aging couple will leave an enduring image of consoling the marginalized in society - from leprosy patients to the elderly, people with handicaps and disaster victims.The first commoner to marry into Japan’s royal family, Michiko once lost her voice after harsh attacks by tabloids.
