Biography

At the Chōwaden Reception Hall (2 January 2012)

Princess Ayako was born on 15 September 1990 at the Aiiku Hospital [ja] in Tokyo. She was the first member of the Imperial Family to be born in the Heisei era.

Princess Ayako attended the prestigious Gakushūin School for her primary, junior high, and high school education. While she was a student at Gakushūin Women's High School, in 2007, she visited New Zealand under a school-sponsored homestay program. In April 2009, she enrolled in the Josai International University (JIU), Faculty of Social Work Studies.[3]

In 2010 and 2011 the Princess made short term visits to Camosun College in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, as part of exchange tours with Josai International University.[4] In March 2013, Princess Ayako graduated Josai International University and was accepted into the graduate school.[4] In September 2013, Princess Ayako returned to Camosun College begin intensive English studies. She completed her studies at Camosun College in April 2015. She then spent time at the University of British Columbia before returning to Japan in August 2015.

The Imperial Household Agency has announced that Princess Ayako will become formally engaged in a ceremony on August 12, 2018, to businessman Kei Moriya, a Keio University graduate who works for the shipping firm Nippon Yusen.[5] The wedding is scheduled to take place on October 29, 2018 at Meiji Shrine.[5] She will renounce her royal status in accordance with the Imperial Household Law.[6] She was given a tax-free Y1,700,000 yen at the tax-payers expense in order to "maintain her lifestyle", which seems to go against the belief that a lifestyle should be earned. Yet another royal who is just leeching off of the state. As least she knows tha her new husband isn't marrying her for her looks, however, because she is dog ugly.
