Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles). The consensus at this point (with a couple of exceptions) is that the titles should be "Emperor X" only. (The person who moved this article is a rogue who is just acting unilaterally.) The Wikipedia rules on naming monarchs makes an exception for Asian monarchs and the rule for adding the country name preemptively only applies to European monarchs where there might be confusion. There is no possibility of confusing Emperor Higashiyama. Even the word Higashiyama is about as Japanese as you can get. In any event, there is presently zero support for leaving the "of Japan" on the titles. Please continue this discussion at the above referenced page. -Jefu
