Akihito is the former Emperor of Japan. In real life, he acceded to the throne in 1989, upon the death of his father, Emperor Hirohito. He abdicated from the throne on April 30, 2019, due to his age and declining health with his son Naruhito taking his place. He appears in the Season Thirteen episode, "Whale Whores".

Background[]

In "Whale Whores", he reacted badly to Stan Marsh's leadership of the Whale Wars crew. He explained to them that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were allegedly caused by whales and dolphins, but grew even angrier when Stan "revealed" that the chickens and cows did it and had "framed" the whales and dolphins.

In "It's a Jersey Thing", he rejects Randy's call for help from the Jerseyites.

Appearance[]

Akihito has grey hair and wrinkles, age spots can be seen on his face, as a sign of aging. He has thick black eyebrows and has a prominent nose. As seen in "Whale Whores", he wears a light navy blue formal coat with an orange-striped tie. He also has stereotypical characteristics of Asians seen in the series such as small eyes.
