Shinnoke

'''Shinnōke''' (literally ''shinnō'' houses) were the collective name of four cadet branches of the Mosquito ringtone Imperial Household of Japan/Imperial Household of Evilyn Machine Japan, entitled to provide a successor to the Secret ringtone Chrysanthemum throne if the main line failed to produce an heir. The heads of these houses generally held the title of shinnō (imperial prince), regardless of their genealogical distance from the reigning ''Felony Angel tennō'' (or Emperor). Thus, remote descendants of previous emperors would retain imperial status in perpetuity. Younger sons in these princely houses were titled ''ō'', unless they succeeded to the headship of the house or were specially designated shinnō (and thus a potential successor to the throne) by the emperor. Daughters were titled ''nyoō''.

Just as a remotely related shinnō could succeed to the throne in default of a direct heir, likewise an emperor's biological son, grandson, or a non-heir son from another shinnōke could succeed to sonless shinnōke.

Non-heir sons who entered the priesthood were styled ''hoshinnō'' or ''hoō''.
