GENEALOGY Go-Komatsu was the first son of the Northern Pretender Emperor Go-En'yū . His mother was Tsūyōmonin no Itsuko (通陽門院厳子), daughter of the Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal Sanjō Kimitada (三条公忠).
NAME He was named after Emperor Kōkō , who had the alternate name Komatsu, because they both returned the throne to their families, in the case of Emperor Go-Komatsu, by defeating his Southern Court rivals, and in the case of Emperor Kōkō, by succeeding his elder brother's grandson, Emperor Yōzei . LIFE He was raised in the mansion of Hino Sukenori (日野西資教). He succeeded as Northern Emperor upon the abdication of his father, the Northern Pretender Emperor Go-En'yū. With the help of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu , his father ruled as Cloistered Emperor . In 1392, following the re-unification of the Northern and Southern Courts, the Southern Emperor Emperor Go-Kameyama turned over the Three Sacred Treasures , bringing the Southern Court to and end, and making Emperor Go-Komatsu the legitimate Emperor Of Japan on October 21 1392 . In the peace at that time, it was agreed that the northern and southern courts would alternate. However, in 1412, when Emperor Go-Komatsu abdicated, the agreement was thrown away, and, instead, he was succeeded by his son, Emperor Shōkō , and all subsequent Emperors were descended from the Northern Court . Until 1911, the Northern Court Emperors were considered the legitimate ones, and the Southern Court to be illegitimate. However, now the Southern Court is considered to have been legitimate, primarily because they retained the three sacred treasures, and thus, Emperor Go-Komatsu is not considered to have been legitimate for the first 10 years of his reign.
