Yoshihito (1879-1926) is the personal name of an Emperor of Japan, the son of Mutsohito, the Meiji Emperor, and father of Hirohito, the Showa Emperor. Referring to him by reign name, he is the Taisho Emperor. His influence was much less than that of his father or his son, in part due to his personality and in part due to chronic illness.

He reigned between 1912 and 1926, so was the monarch during the First World War and the Siberian Intervention.
