Aiko, Princess Toshi (敬宮愛子内親王 Toshi-no-miya Aiko Naishinnō?, born 1 December 2001) is the only child of Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako of Japan.
On December 1, 2001, the Crown Princess gave birth to a baby girl. lt was their first child after 8 years of marriage for the then 37-year-old crown princess and 41-year-old crown prince. The baby was born at 2:43 PM and was 49.6 centimeters tall and weighed 3,103 grams. The crown prince was in the delivery room during the birth and the crown princess was attended by a 12-person medical team with four doctors. The crown princess was eight days short of her 38th birthday when she gave birth to Aiko.
In a break with tradition, the name of the princess was chosen by her parents, instead of by the Emperor. It was selected from the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Mencius. In clause 56 of Li Lou II, Mencius said "One who loves the others will be constantly loved by them; one who respects others will be constantly respected by them. (愛人者人恆愛之，敬人者人恆敬之。)"
Aiko, the princess's personal name, is written with kanji character for "love (愛)" and "child (子)" and means "a person who loves others." The princess also has an imperial title, Princess Toshi (敬宮 toshi-no-miya) which means "a person who respects others." This formal title will be dropped if she marries a commoner.
Princess Aiko began her education at Gakushuin Kindergarten on April 3, 2006. She left kindergarten on March 15, 2008. On 18 March 2014, Princess Aiko finished at Gakushuin elementary school, then entering Gakushuin Girl's Junior High-school.
On her eighth birthday, it was revealed her interests include but are not limited to: writing Kanji characters, calligraphy, jump rope, playing piano and violin, and writing poetry.
