emperor go-komatsu

emperor go-komatsu -lrb- 後小松天皇 `` go-komatsu-tennō '' -rrb- -lrb- august 1 , 1377 -- december 1 , 1433 -rrb- was the 100th emperor of japan , according to the traditional order of succession .
he is officially considered to have been a pretender from may 24 , 1382 to october 21 , 1392 , when emperor go-kameyama abdicated .
he is understood to have been a legitimate emperor -lrb- the 100th sovereign -rrb- from that date until october 5 , 1412 .
according to pre-meiji scholars , his reign spanned the years from 1392 through 1412 .
this nanboku-chō `` sovereign '' was named after the 9th-century emperor kōkō , and `` go - '' -lrb- 後 -rrb- , translates literally as `` later . ''
jien 's `` gukanshō '' explains that kōkō was called `` the emperor of komatsu '' .
the 14th-century pretender and emperor may be called the `` later emperor kōkō '' or the `` later emperor komatsu '' .
the japanese word `` go '' has also been translated to mean the `` second one ; '' and in some older sources , this would-be emperor may be identified as `` komatsu , the second '' , or as `` komatsu ii . ''
