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:
“The prince exults whomever he selects as his consort, but the queen, rather than elevating the subject of her choice, humiliates him as a man. By all that is right, a man is not intended to be the husband of his wife, but a woman is to be her husband’s wife.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
