JAPAN'S Princess Kiko gave birth today to a baby boy – the first male heir to be born into the ancient imperial family in more than four decades, Japanese media reported.
Princess Kiko, 39, the wife of the emperor's younger son, Prince Akishino, gave birth by Caesarean section after complications in her pregnancy, public broadcaster NHK said.
The child will be third in line to the throne after crown prince Naruhito, the baby's uncle, and his father, Akishino.
The birth is likely to stall debate on revising the 1947 imperial succession law to allow women to inherit the Japanese throne.
No royal males had been born since the baby's father in 1965.
