Such a cute photo...!

Has it been one year already? Boy, that went fast. I remember when they were waiting for him to be born and how excited Japan was and everyone was pretty sure it was a boy.

What an adorable, happy-looking little boy. Oh, he's precious!

Oh my, he looks so much like his mum! What a darling little boy. He is absolutely scrumptious.
Happy First Birthday! :-)

What a cutie-pie!!!

He's adorable! There is another new photo of Prince Hisahito on his birthday, with mom Princess Kiko. http://news.goo.ne.jp/picture/kyodo/nation/CO2007090601000216.html (Japanese)
Could you please add this photo on CBB? It's so beautiful!

Prince Hisahito looks so much like his older sister Mako. He goes by Yu-chan (pronounce like "YOU-chan") in the family, it's so cute!

What a gorgeous child. He's lovely, and they must all dote on him. Still I can't help but feel slighted on Princess Aiko's behalf. Japan came *this* close to accepting that her gender should make no difference to her right to inherit the throne...and then this adorable baby boy's birth allowed them to wipe off their brows and push the issue back into the closet. I find it kind of sad.

Aw he's such a cute and happy little boy. And I agree, he does resemble his mother.

Anyway though, I think I remember several years ago a little girl being born to the Japanese royal family, who only started kindergarten maybe two years ago. Now would that have been this little guy's cousin, or his sister who's now 10 already?

Well how adorable is he!?!

Awww, I am so happy to see these. Thank you!

Oh my! I can't believe it's been a year! I think I remember them talking about changing the law so a female could take over if no son was to be born. Something along those lines anyhow. Either way, Happy Birthday little Prince!

He seems like such a ham in front of the camera in the first photo of him. Love the smile and expression on his face in the second one. He's adorable! :)

Awww, he's so cute! Anyone know where to buy those sweet little blue dungarees?

Speaking of Princess Aiko, I just an article online that says the poor girl has autism, as well as her mother Masako having issues with depression. (With that being the case, I don't know if Aiko could've functioned very well as Empress of Japan, had the law been passed.)

Hopefully little Prince Hisahito will be fine and can serve his duties well, when his time comes in the distant future.

Ahhhhhh...what an adorable little emperor-to-be! Plus, he has two much older, doting sisters at his beck-n-call. Not a bad life, I'd say. Cute.
