TOKYO, Japan - Hiroyuki Yoshikawa (L), head of a government panel on imperial succession, on Nov. 24 hands in a final report to Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, which proposes allowing females and their descendants to ascend Japan's imperial throne, a step that would pave the way for 3-year-old Princess Aiko, the only child of Crown Prince Naruhito and Princess Masako, to eventually become Japan's first female monarch since the 18th century.
