Mickey Mouse welcomed Emperor Hirohito in 1975.

The caption goes:
Imperial Fan: Emperor Hirohito was a lifelong fan of Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters. As a child he called his hobby horse Snow White (the Imperial Household Agency told outsiders it was called White Snow). When he made a state visit to America in 1975, Hirohito insisted on visiting Disneyland in California, where he signed Mickey's guestbook and purchased a Mickey Mouse watch, which he wore for the rest of his life. Hirohito died in 1989 and was buried with his Mickey Mouse watch still on his wrist.
