Takako Shimazu (島津貴子 Shimazu Takako?, born 2 March 1939), born Takako, Princess Suga (清宮貴子内親王 Suga-no-miya Takako Naishinnō?), is a member of the Imperial House of Japan. She is the fifth and youngest daughter of Emperor Shōwa and Empress Kōjun, and the youngest sister of the current Emperor of Japan, Akihito. She is married to Hisanaga Shimazu.
Princess Takako was born at the Tokyo Imperial Palace. Her childhood appellation was Suga-no-miya (清宮?).
As with her elder sisters, she was not raised by her biological parents, but by a succession of court ladies at a separate palace built for her and her sisters in the Marunouchi district of Tokyo. She graduated from the Gakushuin Peers School, and was also tutored along with her siblings in English language by an American tutor, Elizabeth Grey Vining during the American occupation of Japan following World War II. Princess Takako graduated from Gakushuin University Women's College with a degree in English literature in March 1957.
