Kiyomizu Kazuma

Kiyomizu Kazuma (born 3 January 1800, died 19 August 1889), era name Emperor Shinmei, was the first Kiyomizu Emperor of Ishikoku and the first head of state of Nantou. Kiyomizu was the Marshal-Admiral of the Imperial Ishi Navy from 1836 to 1847, the highest ranking naval commander of Ishikoku. With the abdication of Emperor Tōryoku in 1847, the Kiyomizu clan, a shinnōke (designated successor) of the Imperial Household, was selected to inherit the throne. Taking an era name of Shinmei, Kiyomizu took the throne in December 1847 in the midst of national crisis as Ishikoku split into two independent states, Nantou in the south and Kitajima in the north.

Leading the continuation of the Imperial Household and the newly formed nation of Nantou, Emperor Shinmei immediately pursued the drafting of a formal constitution. Named as the Shinmei Constitution, the document was enacted on 20 January 1848 and put in placed a system of mixed constitutionalism and absolute monarchy. The Imperial Diet of Nantou was formed with an elected lower house and administrative powers surrounding the Kanpaku and Cabinet of Nantou were given greater legitimacy. 
Early in his reign, Shinmei established the first Ishi university, Iwaramoto University, which was later followed by a larger imperial university system. His reign also included broad reform of Nantian colonial policy, affording greater autonomy to the nation's colonial holdings while also pushing for broader Nantian authority over the southern Shijie region.
