    • Michiko comes from an aristocratic-like family. Michiko Shoda may not have descended from royal blood, but her family was extremely wealthy. Born to Hidesaburo Shoda and Fumiko Soejima on October 20, 1934, she had a very privileged upbringing.
    • She has a keen interest in Irish culture. Before a state visit to Ireland in 2005, Empress Michiko told reporters that she had been taught by Irish nuns as a youngster, recalling “the charm and loveliness of each one of them.”
    • Yukio Mishima was one of her suitors. As well as coming from a rich family, Michiko Shoda was also known for her grace and elegance. It was, therefore, no surprise that she had several contenders for her hand in marriage.
    • The Imperial romance began on a tennis court. In August 1957, a mixed-doubles tennis match in Karuizawa that lasted more than two hours ended in defeat for the Crown Prince Akihito and his partner, but he wasn’t too disappointed.
