Aiko, Princess Toshi
Princess Aiko, The Princess Toshi (敬宮愛子内親王 Toshi-no-miya Aiko Naishinnō, born 1 December 2001) is the only child of Naruhito, Crown Prince of Japan and his wife, Masako.
Name
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.
Personal life
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 and on 6 April 2014 she entered Gakushuin Girl's Junior High-school.

History
Aikō District was one of the ancient subdivisions of Sagami Province, extending from central Sagami north to the border of Musashi Province between the Sagami River and the Tanzawa Mountains. The district offices were located in what is now part of Atsugi. The area was part of a vast shōen controlled by the Oe clan, and their descendents, the Mōri clan of Chōshū from the Heian period through the Sengoku period. It later became a contested area between the late Hōjō clan of Odawara and the Takeda clan of Kai. In the Edo period, it was nominally part of Odawara Domain, although large portions were tenryō territory controlled by the Shogun in Edo through various hatamoto. From 1706, a branch of the Ōkubo clan in Odawara was permitted to establish the Ogino-Yamanaka Domain on a portion of the district. Other portions of the district came under control of Karasuyama Domain of Shimosa Province.
