Prince Kuniyoshi Kuni (久邇宮邦彦王, Kuni-no-miya Kuniyoshi ō?, 23 June 1873 – 29 June 1929) was a member of the Japanese imperial family and a field marshal in the Imperial Japanese Army during the Meiji and Taishō periods. He was the father of Empress Kōjun (who in turn was the consort of the Shōwa Emperor), and therefore, the maternal grandfather of the present emperor of Japan, Akihito.

Famous quotes containing the word prince:
“Much more frequent in Hollywood than the emergence of Cinderella is her sudden vanishing. At our party, even in those glowing days, the clock was always striking twelve for someone at the height of greatness; and there was never a prince to fetch her back to the happy scene.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
