Hiroaki Fushimi (伏見宮 博明王, Fushimi-no-miya Hiroaki-ō, born 26 January 1932) is a former Japanese prince, the only son of Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi and 24th head of the Fushimi-no-miya shinnōke (one of the four branch houses of the Imperial Family of Japan). He became a commoner since the passing of the Imperial Household Law of 1947. If the law had not been changed, he would have been 4th in line to the Japanese throne as of 2019.[citation needed]
