'Emperor Go-Kashiwabara' (後æŸåŽŸå¤©çš‡ ''Go-Kashiwabara-tennÅ'') (November 19, 1464 - May 19, 1526) was the '104th' emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He reigned from November 16, 1500 to May 19, 1526. His personal name was Katsuhito (å‹ä»). His reign marked the nadir of Imperial authority during the Ashikaga shogunate.
He was the first son of Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado. His mother was Niwata (Fujiwara) Asako (åºç”°ï¼ˆæºï¼‰æœå), the daughter of Niwata Nagakata (åºç”°é•·è³¢).
