Titulary of the Mikado of Gao-Soto

The full titulary of the Mikado of Gao-Soto is: His Imperial Majesty the Mikado of Gao-Soto, King of Kings and Emperor of Emperors of the Gao-Showan people, Lord of the Kunihito, Grand King of Hilgar, Mitrania and Touryou, Great Daimyo of Hulstria, Budenlar and Kuratha.

Mikado of Gao-Soto
Mikado of Gao-Soto, in use as the title of the Gao-Showan Emperor since the Empire of Gao-Soto, supplanting the earlier honorific tenno (Heavenly Sovereign) as the main title of the Gao-Showan Emperor. Since the change of the title of Mikado, it is also customary for Emperors to be referred to by their given name instead of their family name, with Okatori Kurosawa being referred to, for example, not as Emperor Okatori II but as Emperor Kurosawa I.

King of Kings and Emperor of Emperors of the Gao-Showan people
This title, in use since ancient Gao-Soto, reaffirms the heritage of the Emperor of Gao-Soto as the paramount ruler of the Gao-Showan people. The current Imperial Household website states that the Mikado of Gao-Soto styles himself according to this title to "... signify his moral duty to act as the protector of the interests of the Gao-Showan people within the bounds of Crownland constitutional law and without prejudice to his duty to exercise his monarchical powers in the interests of both of the peoples of the United Imperial Crownlands."

Lord of the Kunihito
This title refers to the role of the Gao-Showan Emperor as sovereign of the Kunihito people of Hulstria and Gao-Soto.

Grand King of Hilgar, Mitrania and Touryou
This title was first bestowed upon Emperor Kurosawa to reflect the Mikado's primary lordship over the Crownlands of Hilgar, Mitrania and Ostland/Touryou, and his ceremonial duties as emperor there, reflecting similar titles in the titulary of the Emperor of Hulstria.

Great Daimyo of Hulstria, Budenlar and Kuratha
This title was first bestowed upon Emperor Kurosawa to reflect the Mikado's dual sovereignty with the Emperor of Hulstria over the entirety of Hulstria and Gao-Soto, emphasise his duty to the peopler of Hulstria, Budenlar and Kuratha. This arrangement, like the title of "Grand King of Hilgar, Mitrania and Touryou", reflects similar titles in the titulary of the Emperor of Hulstria.
