Hisahito, the second in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne, marked his coming of age with elaborate rituals, yet the imperial family is facing a succession crisis due to legislation that limits inheritance to males only. Hisahito, a biology student with a passion for insects, is the only son of Crown Prince Akishino and has only two sisters. Concerns about the future of the monarchy are heightened by the dwindling number of royal family members and the declining population of Japan.
