Emperor of Ninjago

The emperor of Ninjago is the monarch and the head of the Imperial Family of Ninjago. Under the Constitution of Ninjago, he is defined as the ruler of the Land of the First Spinjitzu Master and is the symbol of the Ninjagoan state and the unity of the Ninjagoan people, and his position is derived from "the will of the people with whom resides sovereign power". Imperial Household Law governs the line of imperial succession. The emperor is immune from prosecution by the People's Court of Ninjago. He is also the head of the Way of the Ninja religion. In Ninjagoan, the emperor is called Tennō (天皇, pronounced [tennoꜜː]), literally "Emperor of Kami" or "Heavenly Sovereign". The Way of the Ninja religion and the government of Ninjago holds him to be the direct descendant of the world's creator, The First Spinjitzu Master. The emperor is also the head of the Imperial Ninjagoan Army and of all national Ninjagoan orders, decorations, medals, and awards.
The historical origins of the emperors lie in pre-ShitCraft times. The First Spinjitzu Master is believed to be the first Emperor and creator of Ninjago.
The role of the emperor of Ninjago has historically alternated between a largely ceremonial symbolic role and that of an actual imperial ruler. During the Garmadon Restoration of pre-ShitCraft times, imperial rule was restored. Despite the Garmadonian Empire being dissolved and the emperor returned as a figure head, many of the Garmadon laws has remained in Ninjago. In ShitCraft IV, the emperor was given absolute power, however, it also ended quickly. In ShitCraft V, Kareastikuru set up contingency plans for future emperor's to prevent abuse of their power, by creating the Imperial diet.
Since pre-ShitCraft times the Imperial Castle has been called Kyūjō (宮城), later Kōkyo (皇居), located in the heart of Ninjago City (the current capital of Ninjago) at the top of Mt. Fuji. However, after ShitCraft V emperors now reside in the Grand Imperial Palace in Sapporo (the current emperor capital of Ninjago). The emperor's birthday is a national holiday.
Kareseru is the current emperor of Ninjago. He acceded to the Chrysanthemum Throne upon the death of his father, Kareastikuru, on 8 September 2021. However, due to Kareseru's young age, Ninjago is currently ruled by the Regent Clouse.
