Tenji

was an emperor of the Land of Ancestors.

Background
Tenji lived a full millennium before start of the main story began. He served as an emperor from the Land of Ancestors. At the time of his first encounter with Kaguya, his land was in war with the Land of That over disputed land ownership. Unlike his followers and the residents of the Land of That, Tenji desired for peace and tried to avoid direct confrontation with his opponents in order to avoid a war being wedged.

When he met Kaguya, he was surprised to learn she came "from the stars", but he took an immediate interest in her once she tells him that she desires for peace, just like him. He allowed her to continue living on his land and fell in love with her. They became lovers and he visited with her every day, and rumours of their relationship reached the Land of That. His devotion to Kaguya's cause for peace caused him to threaten his own followers with death if they dared to threaten peace with the Land of That.

After Suzaku, the minister of the Land of That, tried to kidnap Kaguya and she kills many of his soldiers, Tenji was horrified of Kaguya's god-like powers and ultimately decided to betray his lover in order to prevent a war from breaking out. However, as the two sides attempt to capture Kaguya, she ate the fruit of the God Tree and, with her new powers, casts the Infinite Tsukuyomi. As Tenji fell victim to the genjutsu, he asked Kaguya what she was, unaware that she was pregnant with his children.

Personality
As an emperor, Tenji was an honourable and good-hearted person, who always cared about his land and people. He was very much a seeker of peace and was willing to do anything to void violence and death, even making peaceful negotiations with his enemies. However, that doesn't mean he harbours disdain towards his enemies, such as when the Land of That tries to use a fabricated map to steal property from the Land of Ancestors. Tenji loved Kaguya dearly and was protective of her, as they both desired a world of peace. However, his love for peace proved far greater than his love for Kaguya, as he was willing to betray and have her killed to keep war from breaking out.

Abilities
The full extent of his abilities were unknown, with the exception of him being capable of firing a bow.
