The Emperor of Japan or Tennō,literally "ruler of heaven" or "heavenly sovereign",is the hereditary monarch and head of state of Japan. The emperor is defined by the Constitution of Japan as the symbol of the Japanese state and the unity of the Japanese people,his position deriving from "the will of the people with whom resides sovereign power". The Imperial Household Law governs the line of imperial succession. Pursuant to his constitutional role as a national symbol,and in accordance with rulings by the Supreme Court of Japan,the emperor is personally immune from prosecution. By virtue of his position as the head of the Imperial House,the emperor is also recognized as the head of the Shinto religion,which holds him to be the direct descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu. According to tradition,the office of emperor was created in the 7th century BC,but modern scholars believe that the first emperors did not appear until the 5th or 6th centuries AD.
